The Blue Jackal
Once, a hungry jackal wandered into a village in search of food. While escaping from dogs, he accidentally fell into a vat of blue dye. When he emerged, his fur had turned completely blue. Seeing his strange appearance, the other animals in the forest became fearful and thought he was a special creature sent by the gods. The jackal took advantage of this and declared himself the king of the jungle.For some time, he enjoyed a life of luxury, with all the animals serving him. However, one night, he heard a pack of jackals howling. Unable to resist, he joined them in howling. This revealed his true identity, and the angry animals realized he had deceived them. They attacked him and drove him out of the jungle. The story teaches that deception may bring temporary success, but the truth always comes out in the end.
