The Camel and The Jackal
(Najamuddin Ghanghro, Karachi(original from Larkana))
A camel and a jackal were
friends. One day the jackal took his friend to a big sugar-cane farm. It
was on the opposite side of a river. After a sumptuous meal the jackal began to
howl loudly. The frightened camel pleaded with the jackal not to do so. The
jackal said, “Friend, I have this habit after every meal. I cannot help it."
Soon the farmers arrived and gave a sound thrashing to the camel. When the camel
crossed the river the jackal joined him on his back. In the midstream the
camel took a deliberate dip in the water. When the jackal cried out in terror,
the camel said casually: "I have the habit of rolling in the water after
every meal." The poor jackal was drowned.
