The Blue Jackal

The Blue Jackal

(watch the 2D animation movie at the end of this page)

Once upon a time there lived a cunning jackal in the forest.

One day, driven by hunger, he came to a nearby village in search of food. Seeing him, a group of dogs began barking and started chasing him. 

The jackal fled in panic and dashed into a tub of blue dye that was kept outside a dyer's house. When he came out, he became blue in colour. Thinking that he was not the jackal they chased, the dogs dispersed.

When he returned to the forest, all the other animals ran in fright when they saw him.

The blue jackal told them that he was sent by the Gods to rule the forest and if they did not obey him, the Gods will punish them.

All the animals accepted him as their king. They built a stage for him and brought food for him everyday.

One day a group of jackals were passing by the forest. They lifted their heads and howled.

The blue jackal could not restrain himself and started howling too.

When the other animals saw him howling, they looked at him angrily and started growling.

The blue jackal fled from there and thus his reign ended.
