The Jackal and the Drum - Short story for Kids (Aesop Fables)
The Jackal and the Drum Once a hungry jackal was wandering about in search of food. After some time, he wandered out of the jungle he lived in and reached a deserted battlefield. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise. He got very frightened and thought of running away. "If I cannot flee from here, before I am seen by the person making all this noise, I will be in trouble". As he was about to run away, he had a second thought. "It is unwise to run away from something without knowing. Instead, I must be careful in finding out the source of this noise". He took the courage to creep forward cautiously. He saw a drum lying near a tree which was left behind by the fighting armies.

He continued, his search for food; And near the drum he found sufficient food and water. For more such videos please su
