The Jackal’s Greed - beautifully explained

In a dense forest many animals lived. A jackal always boosting that he is the most efficient animal in this jungle. Jackal saw a lion feasting on a deer.

He wanted a share but was too afraid to ask. He decided to wait until the lion was finished. However, as the lion ate, the jackal grew impatient. He crept closer to grab a bite before the lion left.

Just then, the lion noticed him and roared angrily. The frightened jackal ran away, but in his hurry, he tripped and fell into a thorny bush.

Injured and humiliated, the jackal realized that if he had been patient, he could have safely eaten later.

Moral: Greed and impatience lead to trouble.
