By: Noor InayatA buffalo was sleeping under a tree when a mischievous monkey decided to bother him. Time after time, the monkey bothered the buffalo and caused him hardship, but the buffalo did not slay him (although he easily could have). The buffalo recognized the monkey had a small brain and he didn't want to harm him just so he could live happily. A fairy got rid of the monkey and blessed the buffalo so nobody could every bother him again.

The Great Elephant
By: Noor Inayat
A beautiful elephant lived in an oasis all alone when he heard voices one day. The voices are those of men who have been exiled by their king and are starving and thirsty. He points them to a hill where he says an elephant is there to feed them. He runs on a different path so the travelers won't see him and he jumps from the highest point on the mountain to his death so that he can feed the travelers. Once the travelers recognized his sacrifice, they were hesitant to eat the elephant, but didn't want his death to be in vain. His sacrifice sustained them until they could reach the next town where they lived happily.

Seven quail siblings are being raised in a fire, but one of them only ate grass and did not grow strong and mighty wings. A forest fire comes and the parent quails with the six other children fly away, but the seventh is stuck in the nest. He commands the fire to leave him alone and be just, and the fire avoids him just like that.

The king's knight rode on a mighty horse to defeat the seven invading kings who were trying to take over the kingdom. Before the seventh king, the horse was injured and the knight moved to take another horse, but the horse told him that he would never survive on another. His wounds are bandaged and he is ridden into the final battle, which is excruciating for him. After claiming victory, the horse asks the king to not kill the prisoners, but to let them go under vow to never attack again. The horse succumbs to his wounds, but he was remembered for his nobility.
