Preached at Jetavana regarding a gluttonous sister, who sought alms in quarters unvisited by other sisters. In order to keep these areas for herself she warned others of dangers lurking there.
One day, while begging for alms, her leg was broken by a ram, and her secret discovered.
The story of the past is of a greedy bird, which, after cunningly warning others against the dangers of the road in which she found food, is herself crushed to death by a carriage on that same road.
The sister is identified with the bird. J.i.428-30.
