The Blue Jackal
Re-written by BookBox
Once upon a time,
there was a jackal
named Chandrao
who lived in a mighty jungle.
One day,
he set off in search of food
and he accidentally wandered
into a quiet village.
When the dogs in the village
saw the jackal,
they surrounded and attacked him,
barking away furiously.
The jackal, ran for his life
and entered the house
of a washerman.
Searching through the washerman’s house,
the jackal came by a large tub
filled with blue dye.
Chandrao jumped into the tub to hide.
When he left the tub,
the dogs in the village
did not recognize him
because he was all blue!
In fact, the dogs began to panic.
By the afternoon,
Chandrao was back in the jungle.
All the animals
were confused to see
such a bizarre animal.
He overheard hushed questions like,
“Who is this beast?”
“What can it be?”
Then a clever idea struck him.
He stood right in the middle of the jungle
and announced,
“My dear friends, do not fear.
Brahma, the creator of this universe,
has crafted me with his own hands.
Lord Brahma has made me the king
of all three worlds ‒
heaven, earth, and hell.
He told me to come to this jungle
and as there is no suitable king here
he has asked me to be your king
and to protect all the animals.
This is why I am here.
My friends, I am your caretaker.
Live happily in my kingdom.”
Everybody in the jungle believed him.
They bowed to him
and said humbly,
“Your majesty,
your wish is our command.”
Chandrao then chalked out
everyone’s responsibilities.
He made sure
that most of the animals
would attend to him.
Clever Chandrao banished all the jackals,
because he was afraid
that they might recognize him.
The animals got busy
with their responsibilities.
The lion and the tiger
hunted fresh meat for the new king.
Chandrao really enjoyed life
for some days
until one evening,
he heard the familiar
“Awoo! Awoo!” cry of his fellow jackals
from a distance.
He just could not control himself.
Instinctively,
he too craned his neck high in the air
and let out a loud “Awoo! Awoo”.
When the animals heard this,
they were absolutely stunned.
They soon figured out
what was going on.
Meanwhile,
Chandrao realized his foolishness
and ran for his life.
But how could he escape
from so many angry animals?
Well, I don’t need to describe
the punishment he got!
