A monkey, an otter, a jackal and a rabbit resolved to practice charity on the day of full moon. They saw a very old beggar, who was begging for food. "Poor beggar". They thought, "He looks hungry and has no food. Let us give him some food." First, the monkey plucked the fruits from the trees. He brought the fruits and laid them in front of the old beggar. Next, the otter collected some fish and brought it to the old beggar. The jackal was too lazy to find something that beggar could eat, so he caught the first animal he could - a lizard, and placed it in front of the old beggar, along with some water. The rabbit didn't know what to get for the old beggar. He was not good at catching animals or fish, nor he could scale trees and get fruits. He only knew how to gather grass, but humans didn't eat grass. He sat in a corner unhappily. Suddenly he remembered that humans like to eat rabbit meat. So he got up happily and prepare a fire and jumped into it. Oh! But w...

Once upon a time, in a forest, there lived a jackal. He was a greedy jackal and would always eat up the animal killed by other jackals of the pack. All the jackals were tired of him, so they banished him from the pack. Now he had to hunt food all of himself. One day, as he was wandering in search of food, he came upon a battlefield. A war had recently been fought in this battlefield but now it lay deserted. The jackal stood there for a while wondering whether he should go into the deserted ground and look for food. As he lingered there, he heard a great sound. This sound scared him a lot. He fell into deep thought and said, "Ah! disaster is upon me. I am as good as dead already. Only a monster can make such a sound. What kind of dangerous creature is hidden in this ground?" Frightened, he turned around and started running away. As he was running away, the jackal thought, Was that sound really a dangerous animal? Maybe or maybe not. It is unwise to run away from something with...

In a jungle, there lived a jackal. One day, looking for food, he wandered into a nearby village. A pack of dogs saw him and surrounded him. They attacked him and tried to drive him away. In order to save himself, the jackal ran into a nearby house. This house belonged to a washerman. The front yard of the washerman's house was full of big vats. The jackal jumped into one of these vats to hide himself. The dogs followed him but could not find him anywhere and went away. After a while, the jackal came out of the vat. What he did not release was that the vat in which he had hidden was full of blue dye and now his whole body was dyed blue. When the dogs saw him, they didn't recognize him. Instead, they thought it was some strange animal and ran away terrified. The jackal went back to the jungle. Everywhere he went all the animals would run away from him. The jackal could not understand why all the animals were so terrified of him all of a sudden. He went to the river and looked at ...

The resourceful fish said, 'I will not leave this lake. When the fisherman comes, I will find a way to save myself.' The third fish said, 'I have lived in this lake all my life and w...

Once upon a time a sparrow couple decided to make their nest on a tall tree in the countryside. They worked hard to built a nest which was spacious and comfortable for the two of them. A few weeks after the nest was built, the female sparrow laid two eggs. Both the sparrows were very happy. They took turns to sit on eggs to keep them warm. While one of them would be sitting on the eggs, the other one would fly out in search of water. They expected the eggs to hatch soon and were really excited about having fledglings of their own. Very close to the tree, where the sparrows were busy building their own little world, lived a wild elephant. The elephant was very proud of his strength. So much so that he would trample smaller plants and animals under his feet just to display his might. All the animals were afraid of him and did not want to annoy him. They did not dare to cross his path lest he might kill them. One day, when the elephant was coming after taking a bath in the nearby lake, hi...

There was once an argument between the wind and the sun about who was the stronger than each other. They argued for a long time but neither of them emerged the winner. It was not too long before they spotted a man walking on the road. Looking at the man wearing a coat, an idea struck them both. They challenged each other that the one who succeeded in removing the coat from man's back was the strongest. The wind volunteered to try first. It began to blow hard, raising gusts of air and making it harder for man to take a step further. But, the man clutched his coat tight around him and resumed walking with great difficulty. The wind continued blowing harder and harder, but the man held on to his coat tighter and tighter. And continued his journey forward. Finally, the wind was exhasted and gave up. His efforts had been futile. It is now the turn of the sun. He looked at man and began to gently shine upon the path man is going on.  The man looked up at the sky and surprised at the chan...

Once in Africa, there lived a man and his donkey. The man earned his living by hiring his donkey out to travelers. One day, a traveler hired it to travel to a city in the desert. They set off in the morning, with the traveler sitting on donkey's back and the owner walking behind it. After traveling a few hours, the sun climbed overhead and desert became as hot as an oven. The traveler was tired and wanted to rest. He got off the donkey's back and looked for a place where he could take relief from the blazing sun. But in the hot desert, the only place that offered the shade was donkey's shadow. So he spread a mat and sat down in donkey's shadow.  The owner also tried to fit himself into the shadow, but he couldn't. "You have only hired the donkey, but not the shadow of donkey.", The owner grumbled. "I have hired the donkey and this means the shadow and all features of it", replied the traveler. For a long time they argued. The traveler tried to si...
