The Clever Jackal

in a jungle, all the animals made a plan to save themselves from being eaten by a lion. the jackal told the elephant,'' when the lion comes to eat you, you just lie down and don't move.

the lion will think that you are already dead.'' when the lion came, the elephant pretended he was dead and lay on the ground without moving. the lion asked the jackal, who was standing there,'' what happened to the elephant ?'' the jackal said,'' deer lion, the elephant ate from some tree and fell very ill. now, if you will eat it, you will fall sick and you will never be able to eat again .''

the lion got worried and promised never to return to that jungle.
