THE CUNNING BLUE JACKAL MORAL STORY

  The story goes like this. In a forest there was a heavy fight to choose a king. The old lion king had fallen sick and was about to die. There were many younger ones who were fighting among one another to capture the throne as king of the forest. 




A poor jackal was very hungry. So, he went in search of food to a nearby village. He saw a big pot kept in the backyard of a weaver's house.

He fell into the pot of blue dye thinking that it was a pot of waste food. The jackal turned blue. The jackal looked at itself in the river water and thought, "Well, let me try to scare other animals in the forest."




When the jackal entered into the forest, all animals got frightened for real. The jackal took its chance and started to command them, "Look fellow creatures, I am the new king. From now on you shall bring food and water for me daily. Whatever I say shall be the rule in this forest." The animals took turn to serve their new king. 

Once, there was a heavy rain in the forest. There was loud thunders and bright lightning. All animals ran to their new king and pleaded, "Hey mighty blue king, save us from the rain." The jackal replied, "Don't worry poor animals, I shall stop the rain." When the jackal came out rainwater poured and the jackal got wet. Slowly, the blue dye got dissolved in the rainwater and the original colour of the jackal appeared. When the jackal could not stop the rain it started to say, "Sorry my folks," but before it could continue all other animals shouted, "you cunning jackal..." The jackal had to run away to save its life.

THE SAINTLY HARE - MORAL STORY

             A hare happened to live near a monastery. He saw the penitence of the hermits there and started to practice it. He used to meditate just like the hermits and follow the rites and rituals they adopted. One evening, as the hare sat to meditate, he happened to see the full orb of the growing moon.                 At once he recollected, "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the growing moon. It would be a full moon day. I should be on penitence and eat only after I can find some saint and offer them food." The next day, the hare was awaiting some saint to pass that way. But, to the hare's despair, no one came that way. In distress, the hare said to himself, "I shall offer myself as food if some saint comes.                 The Forest Deity was watching the entire episode. He appeared in the form of a Brahmin in front of the hare. The hare was happy that his ...
