1. The Rustic and the Nightingale


high-definition creative commons posters depicting The Rustic and the Nightingale from the Pañcatantra together with further information.

A gardener captures a nightingale for eating his roses. The bird promises three wise counsels for its freedom: never regret the past, never believe the unbelievable, and never reach for the unattainable. Once free, the bird mocks the man, claiming it has a huge pearl inside. The man’s immediate regret proves he ignored the very wisdom he just received.
