I enjoyed the King, The falcon, and the Drinking cup. This
story is about a King and his bird. One day they go out on a hunt chasing a
deer. Due to some accident, the king gets separated from his men and is left
alone in the forest. He comes across a stream and gets a drinking cup and
slowly starts to fill it up with water to drink. Right as he puts it up against
his lips the falcon snatched it out of his hands and drops it. This angers the
King and he yells at the bird while filling the cup up again. Once filled, the
falcon tips over the cup again, enraging the king so badly that he grabs the
bird and smashes it on the ground killing him instantly. A few moments later
one of the Kings men approaches the king and offers him water from his flask,
but the king rejects and says that he must have some from this spring. The king
tells the man to go fetch the water from the source of the spring. Upon the man’s
return he says that there is a slain dragon in the water whose poison tainted
the whole stream. It is then when the king realized that his beloved bird was
trying to save him.
You can take from this story that the king needs to learn
patience. The bird was only trying to help
him.
