THE JACKAL REMAINS A JACKAL MORAL STORY

   Lion is called the king of the forest not just because he but also because he is very considerate. He never kills unnecessarily. Once, a lion was returning to his den after a nice hunt. He found an infant jackal crying.




The baby had lost his parents. The lion took pity on him and brought him to his den. "Dear wife, I found this baby jackal crying in search of his parents. I think his parents are lost. Take care of him like our cubs," he told the lioness.

The baby had lost his parents. The lion took pity on him and brought him to his den. "Dear wife, I found this baby jackal crying in search of his parents. I think his parents are lost. Take care of him like our cubs," he told the lioness. The lioness also took care of the baby jackal like her own cubs. The baby jackal grew along with the remaining cubs. The cubs too accepted the jackal as their brother.




              The lioness began to teach her cubs how to hunt. The jackal too joined in the training. Once, the jackal found an elephant grazing in the grassland. He called out, "Dear brothers, now is the time for us to attack this big animal." The other cubs warned, "Sorry brother, this is an elephant. We cannot attack and kill him." The jackal did not heed their words. He leapt to attack. The elephant caught him and threw him out of the way and went on.

The jackal returned to the den and reported to the lioness. The lioness said, "Look, my dear boy. You cannot kill an elephant all your life because you are just a jackal. The lion found you crying alone and brought you here. Our cubs don't yet know you are a jackal. But, when they find it out you will be in danger. So, you better keep going and live your life." Just then, the jackal understands reality.

THE RABBIT AND HIS FRIENDS - MORAL STORY

He was friendly with all of them.               Once, Bunny heard a pack of hunting dogs in the forest. He was afraid that they would catch him. He ran to a deer he thought was his close friend and said, "Dear brother, I hear a pack of hunting dogs in the forest nearby. Please save me. You have such sharp antlers. You can thrash them. Please help me, friend !" The coolly replied, "I am sorry, Bunny.        I am too busy to help you out. Go and find someone else for your help." Bunny ran to many of his friends - the bear, the monkey, the zebra, and even the panther. They all gave the same reply. Finally, the tired Bunny met a mouse and told his pathetic state. The mouse replied, "Why are you panicking. Just get into your borough and stay inside till the pack leaves this area. You shall be safe." Bunny we...

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 ...
