A witty Jataka trickster tale for children — and for grown-ups who love listening too.
In a lush green forest, a little brown rabbit dreams of reaching the most delicious meadow he’s ever seen. But to get there, he must cross a deep river filled with crocodiles. What follows is a playful game of trickery and quick thinking that’s been told for centuries in the Buddhist tradition. Will the clever rabbit outsmart the crocodiles? Listen to find out.

This episode is perfect for bedtime stories, quiet time, or long car rides. If you're looking for thoughtful, slow-paced stories for kids or meaningful children’s stories rooted in Indian tradition, this one’s for you.
