The Myth of the Lion and Elephant
The Buddha was born as a fearless and powerful lion. He lived on an island and there he freely roamed the jungles of this large island. This lion had one close friend, a great bull elephant. These two powerful animals often got together to talk. One day they heard cries from shipwrecked seamen who were facing violent death. The lion leaped on the elephant's back and steadying himself with his claws, he lashed his tail and roared. They went into battle against a monstrous sea serpent which had come out of the sea and dashed their ship.
