The story mentioned in the Mahaummaga
Jataka (J.546) of the chameleon to whom the king gave one half-pennyís worth
of meat a day for having shown him deference. On the fast day there was no meat to
be had, and the man who supplied it tied the money round the chameleonís neck. The
next time the animal saw the king it refused to salute him, because it felt itself
to be his equal on account of the wealth round its neck. |
