THE SAGE AND THE JACKAL

It was a calm village. The people in the village were all dependent on the rich agricultural fields. Daily they used to cook very early and leave for their agricultural works and return home in the evening. To their surprise, at least one family found their vessels empty.

They could not trace the culprit. A wicked jackal was in the habit of stealing food and other eatables from the villagers. The villagers somehow sensed that it was a jungle animal that came stealthily to their homes and ate their food. So, they set some traps around the village and waited patiently.

The next day, the jackal came to the village as usual. He fell into a trap. He tried with all his strength, but could not escape. A sanyasi happened to come that way. The cunning jackal pleaded, "Respected sanyasi, you are such a good and pious person. Can you kindly set me free?" The sanyasi took the effort to free the jackal. Once free, the jackal started shouting, "Here is the thief who stole all your food. Come and catch him. The villagers rushed to the spot and found the sanyasi holding the jackal. They at once knew who the real thief was All of them gave a nice beat, from then the jackal was not seen.
