“The Fake Jackal – A Panchatantra Moral Story for Kids”


The Scary Jackal


A fierce jackal with sharp teeth and animals hiding behind trees in fear


Once upon a time, in a big forest, lived a very scary jackal.

All the animals were afraid of him because he used to hunt them every day.

 The Jackal Grows Old


An old, tired jackal walking with a stick, looking weak and thoughtful



As time passed, the jackal became old and weak.

He could not run fast or catch animals anymore.

So he thought, “I need a smart plan to get food easily.”


 The Fake Saint


The jackal wearing saffron cloth, sitting under a tree, pretending to pray as animals watch




The jackal started acting like a saint.

He sat under a tree and chanted, “Ram Ram… Ram Ram…” all day.

Animals thought he had changed and was now kind.


 

Two Rabbit Friends



Two cute rabbits pulling a carrot from opposite sides, looking angry



In the same forest, two rabbits lived happily.

They were best friends.

One day, they found a big carrot and started fighting over it.


Going to Jackal Baba



Two rabbits carrying a carrot and walking toward a jackal sitting under a tree



One rabbit said, “Let’s go to Jackal Baba. He will help us share the carrot.”

The other rabbit agreed, and both went to the jackal.


The Trap


The jackal smiling slyly as the rabbits approach with a carrot




The jackal smiled and said, “Come close, little ones. I will divide the carrot equally.”

The rabbits trusted him and went near.


The Sad Ending



The jackal licking his lips, with the carrot on the ground and the forest silent


But the jackal was lying!

When the rabbits came close, he jumped and caught them.

He ate them both.

The forest became quiet again.


Moral of the Story


Moral 1: Don’t trust someone without knowing them well.

Moral 2: Fighting with friends can hurt both of you and help others.
