Long Howl was a timid jackal living on the outskirts of the forest. Once, as he was being chased by a pack of dogs, Long Howl jumped in a barrel full of blue dye to hide. When he stepped out, he had a blue coat of dye over his jackal skin. When he re-entered the forest, the other animals were astounded and scared to see a unique creature with vibrant blue fur. Soon, Long Howl became the king of the jungle and started ordering around other animals for his food and comfort. How long can this last? Can Long Howl hide his true identity forever?
Listen to this retelling of an ancient fable from Panchatantra.
