Once upon a time in a
jungle, lived a pair of lion and lioness. They loved each other a
lot! The lion used to go on
hunting and then, both of them shared the food. One day, the lion
went on hunting and he couldn’t find anything. When he was
returning, he saw a baby jackal. The Lion was delighted on seeing the
Jackal. He thought it is inappropriate to hunt him down. So, he took
the Jackal to his home. When he reached with the jackal clutched in
his arms, he narrated the whole incident to the Lioness and offered
her to kill the Jackal and satisfy her hunger. The Lioness refused
and said in return that she will raise and love him like their own
child.
The Jackal grew up among-st the cubs. He was tremendously loved by the Lion and Lioness. One day, the jackal and his lion siblings went to jungle for hunting. There they saw a herd of elephants. Seeing the elephants, the Jackal said to his brothers that elephants are more powerful than their kin and they must not fight them. It is impossible to even estimate their strength. They’re huge and they must walk away.
Both the Lion brothers
laughed loudly and reverted saying that the Jackal is a coward! He
should be scared of them. When they reached home, Jackal shared
everything with the Lioness and said that the Lion brothers have been
making fun of him all the time. He said that if he gets angry, he can
kill them too. The cubs also explained the whole incident to their
mother and how the jackal didn’t allowed them to go near the
elephant because he was scared.
After listening
everything, the Lioness said to the Jackal that the cubs are his
younger brothers and It is his duty to forgive them. Only when he
will forgive them, he will earn respect.
The jackal still felt
infuriated and lashed out at the lion brother. The Lioness got angry
but managed to explain the jackal about his real identity. The
jackal felt a bit scared when he came to know that he isn’t like
them. He questioned why the Lion and the Lioness raised him like one
of their own and why did they hide his true identity.
The Lioness explained
that when they first saw him, he was a little child. They didn’t
think it was be right to kill him. Terror-stricken, the Jackal ran
back to his kind and never came back and his illusion of being a lion
got broken.
Moral of the story: We can never hide our true identity.
