Reading Notes Part D: The Mongoose
For this week's reading notes part D, I chose to write my notes over "The Mongoose". I chose this part of the story because it introduces a new character to the plot that added much meaning. The mongoose was found entering the city with a half golden body. The mongoose spoke up with a beautiful story. The story was of the Brahmin. The man lived off the farm with his wife and kids and eventually, hunger took over due to them only eating corn once a day. They were always hungry, yet they were never greedy. They even fed a guest with their small portion of food. The family fed all their food to the guests to please their appetite. This mark did not go unnoticed as the gods saw this and pleased the family with the blessing of living a worry-free life. They were gifted with the ultimate saving of heading to heaven. The mongoose turned to gold shortly after telling this story. This story shows caring, giving, and praise. The family was kind enough to put their own desperate hunger aside to please some random guests. This good service in return was blessed, thus showing that kindness does not go unnoticed. Be a kind person in the world, and you can change much more than just one life.
