to each other. The dog used to amuse himself by swinging backwards and forwards on
the elephantís trunk. One day the merchant sold the dog. The elephant went off his
food and would not be consoled till the dog was brought back. The story was told
in reference to two monks of Savatthi who were very intimate with one another and
spent all their time together. |
