Once there lived a lion in the forest. He became too old and can't hunt any animals. So he kept jackal as his minister to hunt with him. They both always went together for hunting. The lion used to kill the animals and the jackal got his share for helping the lion.
One day, the lion was very hungry and he was sick. So he called the jackal and said, "Dear friend, I am hungry. But, I am too sick to hunt now. Please arrange some food for me.
The jackal went to the deep forest in search of prey. He found a donkey at last. He said to the donkey, "Hello Sir! The king of the forest wants to make you his minister". The foolish donkey was too happy to became the minister. He followed the jackal. When he went to the lion's yard lion pounced him and killed. But before eating, he felt so thirsty. He said to the jackal, “Take care of the donkey. I will return soon".
As soon as the lion left, the jackal started eating the brain of the donkey. When the lion returned he found the donkey's brain missing. He asked the jackal. "Where is the donkey's brain?"
The jackal answered timidly, "If he had a brain would he have come here?"
