Where I used to land when jumping from the near shore to the far, there crouched my deadly foe, the baleful gharial. Reassuring me, he said \u2018Come!\u2019 \u2018I am coming,\u2019 I said to him. Stepping on his head I made it to the far bank. I spoke no lie to him, but acted according to my word. There is no one to equal my truthfulness: this is my perfection of truth.\u201d","title":"The Monkey King\u2019s Conduct","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":91}
