The Story I have chosen for this weeks reading notes is The Three Fish from the Bidpai Fables.  In this story there were three fish. One Fish was very intelligent and often used his wits. The second Fish was semi smart and sometimes used his wits. The third fish seldomly never used his wits. Two fisherman saw these fish and said they were going co catch them. Without thinking the smart fish swam for the outlet. The second fish played dead so the fishermen would not want him. the third fish sank to the bottom where he was easily caught. The Moral of this story was stay on your toes and always be thinking ahead. (This picture is from the the story of the fish being caught. Fish )

The Story I have chosen to read for todays reading notes is the Poor man and the Flask of oil . This story came from Bidipai. This story had a simple story of greed and thinking too much of what could be. In the story the old man had a kind neighbor that gave him a small flask of oil. He was grateful for the kind gift and put it on the shelf. He began to think of what else he could have if he sold this gift. But he messed up and the oil got knocked over and spilled, so he was back to having nothing and being poor. What I got from this story was that you should be thankful for what you have, and don’t take it for granted. (Oil in a flask, Source: Oil )
