Reading Notes: Twenty Jataka Tales, Part B

These are my reading notes for Part B of "Twenty Jataka Tales." My favorite store was "The Goblin Town."  A great ship crashed onto a beautiful island.  Women came to them, saying that their men had left on a ship long ago and have never returned.  They offered to care for these new travelers.  They charmed the men for a very long time.  One night, a man woke up to strange voices.  He got up and looked around to see that the women had turned to goblins in the night.  He had to tell his fellow travelers immediately. Only some believed him and agreed to escape.  But they were bound by magic chains.  A white horse came down from the sky and saved those that wanted to escape.  Those who did not believe that this was a goblin town stayed.
