Review of story 5 - "Old Sultan"

Okay this was super trippy and funny. A shepherd's old dog (Sultan) is saved from being put down by his friend, the wolf. The wolf then asks Sultan to not tell his master when he's gonna come hunt one of the sheep, but Sultan is faithful and tells him. As revenge, the wolf wants to fight Sultan with his friend, the boar. Sultan only has (continued in comments).

The story we all know about 4 animals who escape slaughter, decide to go to the city to become musicians, and end up living in a house that they scare robbers out of by climbing on top of one another and "singing" :)

Review of story 2 - "Hans in luck"

This is a very interesting and multilayered tale. On the surface it's a tale about a naive man who is easily conned into giving away his valuables for less valuable things, all the while believing himself fortunate for such "bargains". However, he has an ease of letting go of each item that points towards the liberating joy of non-accumulation and breaking free of attachment.

Review of story 1 - The Golden Bird

A golden bird keeps stealing the kingdom's golden apples, youngest prince goes on adventure to find it and things only go well if he follows a fox's advice which goes contrary to his temptations.
A reminder to trust advice when it comes from competent sources and not be arrogant and think you know best. Also a reminder to stay humble if you want to catch "the golden bird".
