THE LION AND THE JACKAL

THE LION AND THE JACKAL - MORAL STORY

Once a jackal went to a lion and led, "Hey King of the forest! I am very much interested to serve you. Will you accept me to be your servant? I shall serve you loyally." The lion too accepted and made the jackal his servant. True to his word, the jackal served the lion with sincerity and loyalty.

He watched for any animals and gave clues to the lion. The lion attacked the animals and gave away the leftovers to the jackal. Days passed. The jackal grew fat and healthy from eating all he was left out with. He became greedy and went to the lion and said, "From now on I shall make my own hunt." The jackal went hunting. He saw many animals but was not interested.

He waited for some big animal to pass by. A big elephant came that way. The jackal thought, "Aha, now I've got my meal." He leapt to attack the elephant. But, you know what happened; the elephant threw away the jackal with his trunk and gave nice thrashing. The poor jackal ran away for its life.

Moral: NEVER THINK TOO MUCH OF YOURSELF.
