The Elephant and the Jackal: A Story About Using Your Brain – Fable from India

The Elephant and the Jackal

Deep in the forest, lived a group of Jackals. They all wanted to eat a giant Elephant named Karphooratilaka. But the Elephant was too strong!

One clever Jackal named Kshudrabuddhi had a plan. He tricked the Elephant into following him to a swamp. The ground was soft and muddy, and the Elephant got stuck!

The Jackal laughed! Now the Elephant was weak, and the Jackals could finally eat him.

This story teaches us that even the smallest creature can be strong if they use their brain. Sometimes, being smart is better than being big and strong!
