The story of the blue jackal

One day a jackal entered a washerman’s house. Accidentally, the jackal fell into a indigo pot. When came out of the pot, his coat of hair, had turned blue. He looked at the colour and said, "Oh! What a grand colour I have. I am fit to be the king of the beasts."

He entered the woods. All the beasts were amazed at the blue colour of
the jackal. They took the jackal for a strange beast.
The jackal said, "Oh beasts of the forest, blue is the colour that kings
and queens wear. The goddess of the forest has made me your king. From
today I am your king."

The beasts said, ‘You are our king, oh Lord!’
Even tigers and lions treated him as their king. They began to attend on him.
The blue jackal became very proud. He began to hate other jackals in the
forest.

One evening an old jackal said to his friends, "This blue king hates us.
He is none other than a normal jackal. Let us put up a loud yell. He is sure to
yell back. The tiger and the lion will at once find him out."
So the jackals set up a loud yell. The blue king heard the yell. He yelled
back.

From the yell a tiger at once knew him to be a jackal.
He jumped on the blue
king and killed him.
Moral: Do not pretend to be what you are not.
