THE
DONKEY’S BRAIN
Oneday,
the lion fell sick. He could not go out. But he was very hungry. He called the
jackal and said, “Dear friend, I am hungry. But, I am too sick to hunt. You
have to help me get some food”.
The
jackal went off in search of prey. He found a donkey at last. He said to the
donkey. “Hello, Donkey Sir! The king of the forest wants to make you his
minister”. The foolish donkey was too happy to think of the plot. He followed
the jackal.
The
lion killed the donkey. But, before eating, he felt so thirsty. He said to the
jackal, “Take care of the donkey. I will return in no time”.
As
soon as the lion left, the jackal started eating the brain of the donkey. When
the lion returned he found the donkey’s brain missing.
He
asked the jackal, “Where is the donkey’s brain?” The jackal answered timidly,
“If he had a brain would he have come here?”
