A young Indian prince had been sick for some time and a last developed a strange idea. He thought he was a cow. Since it was the practice in his religion to sacrifice animals, he also insisted on being sacrificed like all other cows. Finally, an old village doctor was called in to treat him. The old doctor pretended that he was a priest and that he had come to sacrifice the prince. He took out a long knife and began to feel the prince’s arms and legs to find the best place to cut him. Then suddenly he stopped. He said that this animal was much too thin and walk to sacrifice. It would be an insult to their religion to sacrifice such a poor cow.

The prince was naturally very much displeased, but he agreed with the doctor that he must get fatter if he wished to be sacrificed. He therefore began to eat and drink in great quantities. he ate and ate, and, as the weeks passed, he grew much after. but at the same time he also grew stronger, and his health improved. In fact, he soon felt so much better that he forgot all about being a cow.
