Jackal
Punished: What began as a good, feel good story
ended in such a horrific manner. The chicken and the jackal were having a
feast. They both brewed beer for the feast, but the beer got the best of the
chicken and the chicken became drunk, which allowed the jackal to take
advantage and devour the chicken. The rest of the chickens developed a plan to
exact revenge on the jackal by placing a egg in the fireplace and having the
egg explode in his face to blind him into a trap that would crush him and allow
the chickens to chop him up to get their necessary revenge from the death of
their mother.

The
Hyena Outwitted: The tiger became extremely ill after
digesting a man and making a huge meal from him, which lead to very bad
indigestion. The tiger was the Raja of the jungle and wished all of the animals
would come say their farewells before he passed away. He put trust in the hyena
to be the messenger for this, but the hyena believed he should find another
messenger in the crow, while he stayed at the side of the ailing tiger. The
crow relayed the message to all of the animals, but the jackals showed up late.
The hyena verbally attacked the jackals, but the jackals outwitted the hyena by
telling the tiger of the medicine they discovered on their way. The medicine
needed for a hyena to be flayed alive, which was the end of the hyena and the
jackals got their revenge.
