Jackals are very secret in nature. At the same time, they are cowards. They are very afraid of even small things. Shintu was no exception. He was a jackal who was filled with fear. Even his wife got annoyed and chased him away. Poor Shintu was turned homeless.
Shintu roamed in the jungle with a place to go. He shivered to his bones when he heard even snake sounds. He could not eat properly and sleep properly. He came across a path in the jungle where a battle had taken place recently.
Suddenly, he heard a loud roaring sound that was so strange. He had never heard such a sound. It was nothing like the roaring of a lion or tiger. It was not like the trumpet of the elephant. It was not even like the bark of the dog. Shintu was totally filled with fear.
Shintu gathered all his strength and crawled slowly in the direction of the roaring sound. He saw a strange thing lying on the ground. He went near and wagged his tail. When his tail brushed the thing there was a nice sound coming from it. Now, Shintu got bolder and stamped on it.
The sound got louder. The Shintu stamped harder, the louder the sound became and soon it resembled the roaring sound he heard at first.
The fear in Shintu got evaporated and he became bolder. He rolled the drum to his home and created the roaring drum beat. His wife was excited by her husband's courage and took him back happily.
Moral: FEAR WEAKENS AND COURAGE STRENGTHENS !!!
