A lion was living with his assistant jackal. One day the lion got badly injured in a fight with an elephant. He became too weak to hunt. The jackal was feeling very hungry and asked the lion to arrange for some prey. The lion asked the jackal to lure some animal to him and he would kill that animal. After searching for a while the jackal found a donkey grazing in a field. He asked the jackal why he was so weak. The donkey told that he was being tortured by his owner the washerman. The jackal told that he would take the donkey to place full of grass and three female donkeys. The donkey happily agreed to go with him. Once they reached near the lion the lion jumped to kill the donkey. The donkey ran for his life and escaped the certain death. After that the jackal made fun of lion. After some argument the jackal once again went to trap the donkey. The jackal said it was a female donkey who pounced on him to embrace him and not some dangerous animal. The donkey once again came along with the jackal. Finally the lion killed the donkey and had sumptuous meal with his assistant.
