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 MONKEY AND THE WEDGE MORAL STORIES

              Pintu was a mischievous monkey. He was always very playful. He was also shooting troubles. Once, the pack of monkeys in which Pintu was a member wandered into a nearby village.  A group of lumberjacks were cutting big pieces of wood from the logs. Pintu watched with wonder at the ease with which the lumberjacks split large logs. He was observing their work. When a lumberjack had inserted a wedge to split a log, the bell rang to indicate their lunchtime. The lumberjacks set aside their work and went away for their lunch.         Pintu ran to the log with the wedge stuck deep inside. His curiosity increased. He left his hand inside the split end and tried to pull the log apart. Nothing happened. So Pintu decided to pull out the wedge and see what happened. In his anxiety, Pintu did not notice that he was sitting across the log and that his tail was wagering in the split of the log.  The moment Pintu pulled out ...

THE LIONS ATTENDANTS

         There was an old lion in a forest. He was so old that he could no longer hunt effectively. He could not get food by himself, He had to eat only the leftovers of the kills made by other animals. Sometimes he had to stay hungry for days together if he could not find such leftover food.  A jackal and a crow were true followers of the lion. They were happy to stay with the lion and eat what the lion gave them. They too were very sad to see their king's pathetic state. "We have to do something to make our king really happy," said the jackal to the crow. The crow replied, "Yes, my friend. We have to make our king happy." At that time they happened to come across a sick camel. The camel was counting his days. He staggered in the direction of the jackal and the crow. "What are you discussing folks?" asked the camel. The wise jackal said, "Our king lion is too old to hunt anymore. So, we were talking about who would sacrifice their life for the ki...
