This story is about a dwarf they called him the Little Bowman. He was trying to get into the Kings palace to offer his services. However, no one would take him serious if he was to show up by him self. So he went to find a huge man named Bhimasena to accompany him to serve the King. The King took in the Little Bow man as a servant to Bhimasena and they began there service. For there first task they asked Bhimasena to go and kill a tiger in a local village. Bhimasena had no experience fighting or in war so the Little Bowman being very clever devised a plan to beat the tiger. As Bhimasena went out by himself he was able to beat the tiger. As he came back to the Little Bowman and the King he took all glory and it got to his head. Soon he would not talk to the Little Bowman and he thought he could do everything himself. Months later another kingdom came for war but they only wanted to have the champion vs there champion to fight with each other. Bhimasena having no war experience and having a big head went to go fight their champion. The Little Bowman went with him to save him from this challenge. While they were up there Bhimasena freaked out and ran away then the Little Bowman took over and took care of the situation while also taking the other King as a prisoner. After the Little Bowman was honored and Bhimasena was never seen again.
I liked this story a lot it was very interesting to read! The point of this story that at least I got out of it was to not let glory go to your head, and that it doesn't matter what your sizes. I would want to put a modern twist on this story and show the lesson in it.
