Once lived a clever jackal under a tree. But on an unfortunate day, the tree fell down and the jackal was injured severely. Somehow he managed to go in a cave nearby where he stayed for a few days thirsty and hungry. After staying hungry in the cave for few days, he decided to hunt again for the food by going out but couldn’t catch a prey due to his injury.

Soon he was chased by a group of dogs and he managed to escape the forest but accidentally entered the house of a dyer and fell into a vat of blue dye. 

When he returned back to the forest, his new appearance surprised everyone and no other animal was able to recognize the jackal. That’s when he came up with a clever idea and claimed himself to the messenger of god and king of the jungle. All the other animals started to serve him and he enjoyed a very luxurious life till one day he heard other jackals howling nearby and his natural instinct forces him to join them. When other animals saw him doing this, they realize he is just a jackal and punishes him for his misdeeds.

 

This story teaches us to stay true to what we really are and not try and pretend to be someone else as one day we will be caught.

 

Short but great moral stories for kids that can be used at bedtime or any other time during the day.
