The Queen Mother was of the race of the ogres, and the king would never have married her had it not been for her vast riches; it was even whispered about the court that she had ogreish inclinations, and that, whenever she saw little children passing by, she had all the difficulty in the world to avoid falling upon them and eating them up. Soon after the king went to make war with the Emperor Contalabutte, his neighbour, she went into the kitchen and said to her clerk: “I have a mind to eat little Morning for my dinner tomorrow.” “Ah! madam!” “I will have it so!” – This she spoke in the tone of an ogress who had a strong desire to eat fresh meat: “And I will eat her with cranberry sauce!” ——- This little known sequel to The Sleeping Beauty is clearly a Rather Scary Story, but it’s a fairy story, so the good survive and the bad meet their fate.

Deep in the jungle, there lived a big group of elephants. The elephants lived in a certain place beside a pond, and did not require venturing out. There was a beautiful hermitage on the bank of river Ganges, where a group of hermits lived in peace. The Wedding of the Mouse - Panchatantra Story Picture The hermits were disciples of a Guru Yadnyavalkya, who was always absorbed in meditation, and followed rigorous self-discipline. One day, while he was bathing in the river, a hawk flew over with a mouse in its claws. Suddenly, the mouse fell from the hawk's grip right into the hands of the Guru. When the Guru noticed that the hawk was flying above, he knew he cannot leave the mouse alone, or he is to be caught again. He put the mouse on a leaf of a nearby Banyan tree, and took a second bath to purify himself. The Wedding of the Mouse - Panchatantra Story Picture He used his powers to transform the female mouse into a little girl, and took her to the hermitage. He said
