The King Who Became a Bridge | An Ancient Jataka Legend | A Simple Tale
Simple Tales presents the ancient legend: The King of the Great Banyan Forest.
Beside a shining river stood a banyan tree so vast its branches stretched like a forest across the sky. High among its leaves lived a troop of monkeys led by a wise and noble king. He ruled not through fear, but through care. But when a single golden fruit falls into the river and reaches the palace of a human king, the banyan tree—and the troop within it—is suddenly hunted by men.
As arrows point toward his people, the Monkey King performs a selfless, heart-wrenching act: he leaps across the roaring river to a distant tree, stretching his own body to become a living bridge. Though the weight of his troop and the cruelty of a jealous rival break him, he refuses to let go until the very last monkey is safe.
