Answers
Answer:
1. Devadatta complained that Siddhartha had taken away his swan and was refusing to give it back to him.
2. Siddhartha claimed that the swan was his because he saved and protected its life.
3. The bird was very frightened when it heard Devadatta's call. It trembled and cried with extreme fear and anxiety. Devadatta had shot the bird.
4. It couldn't swim, it couldn't fly – the arrow had broken one of its wings. Siddhartha held his hands out to the injured bird, calling softly to calm it down. He held the bird tenderly in his arms and waded out to the riverbank. He quieted the swan, and then gently pulled the arrow out of its wing.
5. Devadatta shot a swan. It fell down. It was badly wounded. Siddhartha picked it up and nursed it. Devadatta asked Siddhartha to give the swan to him. Siddhartha refused to give it back. Both of them went to the King for justice.
6. Dev Datt claimed that he had shot the bird so it belonged to him and Siddhartha claimed it because he has saved and protected its life.
7. The Chief Minister told Siddhartha to keep the swan on a stool. He asked Devadatta to call the bird to him. Devadatta called out to the bird. The bird trembled with fear and cried out. It did not go to him.
