There was a washerman in a village. He bought a donkey to take to the pond and carry the clothes to be washed. Feeding the donkey became a burden for him. Washerman thought of a trick for that. Somehow he got a tiger skin and put it on a donkey and sent it to the crop fields near the village at night. From that day the donkey fell on the crop fields and ate its fill. The donkey grazes all night and reaches the washerman’s house early in the morning. The people who were guarding the crop fields saw the donkey covered in tiger skin and ran away in fear that it was really a tiger. And the donkey grazed its fill in the crop fields without any hindrance. The farm owners were very worried to see the donkey covered in tiger skin that destroyed their crop. How to break its pain? Searched for a way.
One night a farm owner covered himself with a gray blanket and sat under a tree with his bow and arrows and waited for the arrival of a tiger. As usual, a donkey covered in tiger skin entered the crop fields. Seeing the owner covered with a gray blanket grazing in the donkey field, he thought that another donkey was grazing there. A donkey covered in tiger skin cried out with indescribable joy that I had found a friend for a long time. A farmer covered with a gray blanket was startled by the braying of a donkey.
“This donkey is such a deceiver. He has deceived all of us by covering himself with a tiger skin and the crop is full of food. “I will give you a suitable advice for this,” he told the donkey with a stick that he had. The donkey could not keep its mouth shut and was in danger. People with bad mouth are also at risk.
MORAL : I should behave with humility and obedience towards elders without being proud that there is no one better than me in this world.
