74. The Bodhisatta – As A Young Quail

Once upon a time, when Brahmadatta was king in Benares, the Bodhisatta came into the world as a young Quail. He got his food in hopping over the clods left after ploughing.

One day he thought he would leave his feeding ground and try another; so he went to the edge of a forest. As he picked up his food there, a Falcon saw him, and attacked him fiercely. He was get caught.
