Description of manuscript content:
This is the story of Bodhisatta’s life as a little bird. One day, while the bird was playing at a rice farm, a falcon flying overhead in the sky saw him and wanted to eat him. When the bird saw the falcon flying down, it run into a hole. The falcon shot down so fast that his chest hit the ground and his lower jaw entered the soil, so he died.

I, Thit (ex-monk) Phao Saen Kumphon, wrote this manuscript at my house, Ban Phonsai. Sabbanyuttayānaṃ nibbānaṃ sukkhaṃ.
