The Crow tried to fish but was not born to go beneath the waves like his master and thus drowned. This is pride before the fall. Could easily be rewritten multiple ways. One thing might be interesting to revisit Jesus and the Sphinx, bring them back and the sphinx tries to walk on water?

Sons of the king want to see Judas tree but only judge it off what each one sees. This is a great story about judging a book by it’s cover and not seeing the whole truth of the matter. Interesting to develop this more into a story, could have different famous people meeting to discuss a colleague, could be fun.
Interesting story, the guy has his money dropped over the side of the boat and the spirit of Ganges brought it back to him in a roundabout way. I could see this occurring with Odysseus or something like that. Placing it in a different time. Or perhaps in Egypt? Ooo Mayan culture…

Sakka testing Buddha. Buddha was living on a hillside eating the bark of the tree when there isn’t leaves or flowers. Sakka offers him boon, Buddha asks for no animal to be harmed for his being. Not really much I see to do with this scene.
King didn’t like that everything was valued so high so he fired his valuer and hired a fool. Fool gave value of 500 horses as a measure of rice. Horse trader bribed him to value a measure of rice as the whole city state. King fired valuer. Interesting story about a person trying to cheat the system getting cheated himself..
A village grows a poisonous tree that usually kills everyone so they can take all their wares. This would be a great story to expound upon. A traffic stop gone wrong type situation. Maybe drugs or arms? But in reality it is FBI or CIA in the car?

Elephant is Buddha and is able to fly around. The king of one area got angry that the elephant was more revered than he was. Tried to get the elephant to fall of the cliff, elephant flew to new kingdom and became a prized asset. Good story about the worth of and respecting others.
A woman brought a dead child to the Buddha, he sent her for mustard seed and to find one house that hadn’t lost anyone to death. She was unable to find a house untouched by death and thus learned that everyone has to deal with it. Good story about how to recognize a truth and deal with the grief.
