A 3-panel glimpse · Ages 5–9

Arjuna and the Bird's Eye

Five princes. One wooden bird in a tree. Only one right answer.

  1. Sage Drona in saffron robes points up toward a small bird perched on a tree branch. Five young princes stand below holding bows, looking up.

    Drona put a wooden bird high in a tree. He asked the princes, 'What do you see?'

  2. Drona stands in a forest with young princes. One prince looks at a butterfly, another at the trees. A bird sits on a branch above.

    The first prince saw the tree, the sky, the leaves, his brothers. One by one, Drona told each of them to step aside.

  3. Young Arjuna in white and gold draws his bow with complete focus. A small wooden bird is visible at the top of the frame.

    Arjuna stayed very still. 'Teacher,' he said, 'I only see the eye of the bird.'
