 Reading Notes Part B-


The House of Fire-

Prince Vidura was always the wiser brother of the three but since his mother was a servant he was never thought to be worthy of sitting on the throne. They notice that all the furniture is soaked in oil, and they begin to fear that the king is planning on setting them on fire. Prince Vidura dug a tunnel out of the castle in case this happened, and covered it up well. The captain set the castle on fire. It also caught fire of another palace. They thought they had succeeded but the queen escaped.

I really enjoyed this story it kind of reminds me from Game of Thrones when the Lannisters set the great meeting place on fire. I plan on using this story for my story later in the week.

Some of the other things I enjoyed reading from this section as a whole was the story when Prince Arjuna saved the cursed water nymphs. The other crazy part was when the soul entered Khrisna's body allowing him to keep on living. I thought that was an interesting aspect to the story and it kept me interested.

Beau is around a year old now, last summer I got

Aushada was a reincarnation of the Buddha. He was named this because he was born holding a divine herb that gave him healing powers. King Vaidena had a dream that a great soul would be born that would be wiser than anyone before. 8 years later he found Aushada and knew it was him and brought him back to his kingdom. He grew up in the city as a handsome boy and the other people began becoming envious of him. They are standing above the water and see a gem. He tries to jump in but can not stay under water long enough. They get the king telling them even the best swimmer can not get the gem. One of the court pandits who didn't like Aushada saw it had the kings heart attached and knew if he got it he would have a one up on Aushada. The king assigned him the task. He told the boys to start drinking the water in the tank. They drank all the water and the gem disappeared. They showed the king and he said to fill it back up. Once they filled it up there was the gem again. They said to brin
