Reading Notes : More Jataka Tales Part B

The Brave Little Bowman

A story of a man, disadvantaged in stature must hide his talents and skills behind a more appropriate appearing individual.  When the bigger man takes credit for work that is not his own, and receives praise, he becomes PRIDEFUL, and believes he is better than the little man (even though the little man is the only reason he is receiving praise).
