An Unexpected Transformation

In a dense forest, there lived a clever jackal who was always hungry and looking for food. One day, while searching for a meal, he accidentally fell into a container of blue paint left by some villagers.


When he emerged, he was completely covered in bright blue color - unlike any animal the forest had ever seen.

The Jackal's Clever Plan

Realizing how different he looked, the jackal decided to use this strange appearance to his advantage. He declared himself a magical, special creature and convinced all the other animals that he was a powerful being sent from the heavens.


The other animals began to worship him, bringing him food and treating him like a king.

The Truth Revealed

For a while, the blue jackal lived like royalty. He ordered the other animals around and enjoyed special treatment. But one night, when a group of regular jackals began to howl, the blue jackal couldn't help himself. He joined in their howl, forgetting his careful act.


Immediately, the other animals realized he was just an ordinary jackal who had painted himself blue. They beat him up and banished him from the forest.
