The Mongoose
Mahabharata Online: Public Domain Edition
Source. The Story of the Great War by Annie Besant (1899)
This was my favorite story! It reminded me of a biblical account about strangers/guests and ironically being in the company of angels. In this case a deity, so equally awesome in my opinion. I love that the cute little mongoose is the narrator! I usually do not like stories with the whole animal thing, but this story is cute. Almost as cute as the image of the mongoose. He has such a smug look on his tiny furry face. I can picture him telling such a great tale, with his own reasons for pointing out how the kings should be giving away more of their abundance. The Brahmin in the story the mongoose told has his entire family starving in famine and sacrifice their last morsels of food to a stranger.
