The Jataka Tales are a collection of stories from the Buddha's previous life. The stories are simple yet deal with life's deep truths. The Jataka Tales were written to instil and maintain moral values in society and they continue to play this role even today. The two trees in the jungle are friends but they don't share the same opinion. One wants to drive away the carnivorous animals who leave the remains of their prey behind. The other tree is against this but its friend comes up with a plan to get rid of this menace.
