THE KING, THE CROW, THE JACKAL and ……

The Lion, the King of the jungle had an entourage of the hangers-on – the crow, the jackal and a few others. One day a camel separated from a caravan strayed into the jungle. The crow intervened, "It's a good meal, to feast upon, Master. Just kill him".

The King roared, "We can't kill a guest. Introduce him to me"

The Camel bowed in respect and told his story to the Lion. The King ordered that the camel henceforth will be a member of our Kinfolk and can feed on the emerald green of the forest.

It so happened one day that the Lion got into a fight with a Tusker and got badly wounded. Helpless to go for a kill, he ordered his associates to bring an animal to his doorstep for a kill"

Unable to find one, the jackal tip-toed to the Lion, "Sir, there is none around we can lay our hands on. The Camel now is the only answer. Or else, we all will starve to death".

The Lion got furious, "You shameless scoundrel, how can I kill one whom I have given protection for life?"

But the cunning jackal tricked the lion into agreeing to the proposal, "Sir, what's our problem if the Camel willingly offers himself!"

And so the crow and the jackal and others contrived how to get the camel into the trap. They all appeared before the Lion. The crow made the first move to offer himself but the jackal rubbished the idea that he is too small to feed even a minor. The Jackal came in next before Lion with his eyes meeting with those of the Camel and tears rolling down with the rest of the clan crying. The Camel simply took pity on him and pushed him aside and offered himself, thinking the Lion as usual will spare him. The Lion simply pounced on him and all of them then had a great feast.

NOBLE UPRIGHT PEOPLE ARE NOT MEAN MINDED AND DO NOT LIVE DECEPTIVELY UNLIKE WICKED DESPICABLE INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE WHO DO.
