Description
Once upon a time a clever jackal made his home in a cave in the jungle . Everyday he would leave the cave at sunrise in search of food and return at sunset . In the same forest lived a lion . He had grown very old and could no longer run fast to catch his prey . He often went hungry because of this . One day the lion tried to catch a lame deer . But even the lame deer could run faster than him . As the lion wandered in search of prey, he saw the jackal's cave . He was sure that some animal lived in the cave . He had an idea! The lion waited in the cave for the whole day . He was very hungry and this made him very restless and impatient. At sunset the jackal came back to find the whole forest quiet around the cave . He was sure that some great danger lurked inside the cave . He thought of a plan and called out to the cave ... Hearing the clever jackal, the lion believed that the cave spoke to the jackal and called out in a hollow voice asking the jackal to come in . Hearing the roar of the lion, the jackal turned and ram for his life ... The lion waited for the jackal to enter . But soon realised that he had been fooled . He left the cave feeling very disappointed . The jackal watching from a safe distance, waited till the lion was out of sight and then returned to the cave for a good night's rest.
