    Arthur.W.Ryder
    (1877 – 1938)

    Professor in Sanskrit at
    university of California Berkeley

    Famous Work :

    Panchatantra in 1925
    Bhagavada Gita
    After a few months loud and sad howls filled the
    jungle. The king elephant had been trapped. A hunter
    had come to catch them so none of the elephants
    could go there.
    The mice said, "It's time to prove our friendship, we
    will free the elephant." So they quietly went to the
    king elephant and chewed through the ropes that tied
    him up.
    As they were small no one saw them
    there. At last the king elephant was
    free, and he ran home with the mice.
    The mice and elephants in that jungle
    have helped each other often ever
    since. They are good friends.
