The Jataka, Vol. II: Book III. Tika-Nipāta: No. 275.

The Jataka, Vol. II, tr. by W.H.D. Rouse, [1895] [365] "Who is this pretty Crane," etc.--This story the Master told at Jetavana about some greedy Brother. The two stories are just the same as the last. And these are the verses:-- _____________________________ "Do you not know me, friend, indeed? Together we were used to feed! I would not do as I was told, So now I'm plucked, as you behold." "You'll come to grief again, I know-- It is your nature to do so. When people make a dish of meat ’Tis not for little birds to eat." As before, the Bodhisatta said--"I can't live here any more," and flew away some whither. When this discourse was ended, the Master declared the Truths and identified the Birth:--at the conclusion of the Truths, the greedy Brother attained the Fruit of the Third Path:--"The greedy Brother was the Crow, and I was the Pigeon."
