Buddha and a sarus crane medallion in stone.
As the legend goes, one morning a young Prince Siddhartha, many years before he would become the Buddha, was sitting in the garden of his father's palace. Suddenly a wounded sarus crane fell from the sky and onto his feet. It had been shot by an arrow.
Siddhartha, feeling sorry for the animal, took it into the palace and removed the arrow. He patched up the wound and started to nurse the bird back to health, caring for it with genuine love.
 
A few days later, Prince Siddhartha's cousin Devadatta arrived at the palace and claimed that the sarus crane was his because he had been the one who shot it. Siddhartha refused to hand it over and they fought over the bird.
To resolve the dispute, the boys took the case to the court of the king. After listening to both sides, the king's court decided it was Siddhartha, not Devadatta, who would be able to keep the bird. It belonged to the boy who had saved its life, not the one who had tried to kill it.
