Once upon a time there was a cow one day, a cow wandered off and lost its way back to the village where it lived, and instead reached a forest. There the cow met a lioness. They became friends and were very happy together. After sometime, the cow gave birth to a bull calf and the lioness gave birth to a cub. Both the babies grew up playing together and became true friends.

A woodcutter saw the bull and the lion playing together, and went to tell the king about this unusual thing.

The king said to the woodcutter, “when you see the third animal with these two friends, then come and tell me."

The woodcutter returned after a few days and told the king that now a jackal also stayed with the bull and the lion.

The wise king said, “Now the jackal will not let them be friends. He will make them fight. So, let us go to the forest. "

The king was right. The jackal went first to the lion and said, “The bull is not your friend. He speaks ill about you behind your back.”

And then the jackal went to the bull and told the same thing to the bull. Both the bull and the lion were foolish and believed what the jackal said.

Instead of talking to each other and finding out the truth, they blindly believed the cunning jackal.

The deep friendship of the bull and the lion because of the jackal. They started disliking each other.

One day, a big fight ensured between the lion and the bull, they both fought fiercely. They both were badly  hurt and soon died.

This is what the jackal wanted.

Actually, he wanted to eat the flesh of the bull and the lion because he had never eaten such flesh before.

For his own selfish motive, he had created rift between the two good friends.

When the king came to the forest, he saw the jackal eating the flesh of the bull and the lion.

The King felt sorry that the bull and the lion had not trusted each other. They had believed whatever the jackal had told them about each other.

The King was very angry with the jackal for turning the two good friends into bitter enemies.

So he picked up his bow and arrow, and aimed at the jackal. The jackal did not see the King because he was busy eating the flesh of the bull and the lion.

The arrow hit the jackal and he died at once. The King went back to his palace still feeling sad about the broken friendship between the lion and the bull also read the hungry fox and the cock a matter of trust.
