Dadaji’s moral stories for kids THE JACKAL AND THE DRUM
Once upon a time, a jackal wandered away from his jungle and reached a deserted battlefield. He was very hungry, and so he started looking for food. As her got closer to the center of the battlefield, he heard strange sounds. The jackal got scared and started to run away, but then he thought, “Let me carefully see who is making that sound.” As he looked around, he found an abandoned drum lying next to a tree, and as the wind blew, the branches of the tree rubbed against the drum, making the strage sound. He was relieved and continued to search for food.
