Once upon a time there was a forest named mandharavathi in the
magadha country. There lived a crow and deer befriend and happily.They use to
chit chat in the evening hours.
On one day , while the deer was grazing, a fox seen it.Fox thought
that it is fattened and would be tasty. At any cost I have eat the meat of this
animal. The fox planning so, called the deer, O my friend. The deer angrily
asked,"who are you"
Fox said my name is subuddhi.I migrated from the neighbouring
forest due to the presence of increased Lions and Tigers."Do you be friend
of mine? ", asked fox to deer.Deer believed the fox and introduced it to
the crow.Crow suggested not to believe the unknown and new animals. But, the
deer didn't cared for the words of crow and said in the initial days we are
also unknown to eachother.later we become good friends. After making friends,
we know whether they are good or bad.It also angrily said that it is not good
to doubt the animal, who offered to be our friend
The lessons we can learn here is that friends can be made out of
equals .Friends shall not be done out of the traditional enemies. While
befriending, it is the duty of the Individual to assess the Quality.
The crow annoyed with the behaviour of the deer.Some days had
passed.Deer started spending more time with the fox than with the crow.But,
crow has been observing the fox ,in view of the wellbeing of the deer.
On one day, fox lured the deer about eating the maize plants in
the near by fields.On hearing about the maize plants, the mouth of the deer was
filled with the water and blindly followed the fox to the fields.
Fox offered the deer that to eat the maize plants to your
contentment, by standing on the bank of the field.It also assured to obseve if
any one is coming to that side.
The Lessons we can learn is that many of us use to cause suffering
to our friends.But a true friend always use to be behind us and work for the
wellbeing of the friend.Also, problems are Inevitable by accepting for the
greedy proposals.
Deer was enjoying the experience of eating the tender leaves and
stems of the maize plants. The farmer of that land has laid a net invisibly. Un
noticeably, the deer was trapped in the net laid for the purpose. Deer shouted
for the help.It asked fox to cutoff the net and save it.
The fox rushed to the deer and said O my dear friend, today is
Saturday and I am fasting.During the fasting ,I donot touch the non vegetarian.
This net is made up of meet.Hence, I cannot touch this net.The deer was
helpless.Fox was awaiting the arrival of the farmer of that land and death of
the deer in the hands of the farmer.
The lessons we can learnt is that a selfish fellow seems to be a
friend. But, when one person is in troubles, the selfish person exposes his own
colours by saying one reason or another. The person who believes the selfish
one will be always put to troubles.Believing a selfish person is a mistake and
repeatedly believing after troubles is blunder.
On the other hand, the crow was awaiting the arrival of the
deer.It doubted whether the cunning fox had
intrigued to cause harm to the deer, as both are left in the afternoon
and did not came back even in the late evening. Crow anticipated some trouble
for the deer and started searching for it.Crow found the deer entrapped in the
maize farm.It landed before the deer and inquired about the things happened.
Deer exclaimed and replied the mischief played by the fox.Crow recalled that to
not believe the new and unknown persons. Crow explained that fox had planned to
eat your meet after you being killed in the hands of the farmer. Deer agreed
for the comments made by the crow.
The lessons we can learnt is that true friends always observes the
things happening
for the wellbeing of their friends.In difficult times, it is very
important to realise that there is a problem and lost the control over the
things.
The crow absorved a farmer coming walking to the field from the
distance with a wooden stick on his shoulder. To avoid the problem, crow
suggested to the deer to stop breathing, as if it is dead.I will act piercing your eye as if you are dead.The
farmer will remove the net and i will give
two warning calls of kav, kav.You escape immediately.
The deer acted as planned and escaped from the the farmer.Farmer
was alert and thrown a wooden stick on to the deer.The clever deer escaped from
the stick.
In the original panchatantra story, the stick hits the fox and it
dies.But, here our story takes a little different turn.Even the fox jumps and
survives.
The fox again approaches the deer and explained the inevitability
of not touching the net made of meet. It requested the deer to upkeep him as friend.The deer was
slowly melting.But, crow become angry about the behaviour of the deer and
warned it not continue the friendship with the cunning fox.The deer requested
to forgive the fox.The crow said forgiving applies to the mistakes made unintentionally. For
intentional mistake ,which would have cost your life cannot be forgivable. Crow
has given ultimatum to choose between it and fox.Deer had no other way than to
choose the life saving crow.
The lessons we can learnt is that cunning people continuously put
their efforts till their wish is prevaied.The entrapped persons has to be in
trouble. In such circumstances, wise people has to be tough in warning their
friends to choose the best way.
The story does not end here. The fox understands that the key of
saving lies with the crow.In order to kill the deer, it has to remove the
hurdle of the crow.It went to the crow and pleaded for the friendship of it and
deer.Crow denied the offer.
In case of the failure the cunning people chooses the way with
which the things can be done.Their ultimate objective is get the things done for
them.Wise people should be in a position to deny the offers.Otherwise it would
trouble them and their friends.
The story does not end here. The fox approched an elephant and
requested to recommend for its friendship with crow and deer.It complained that
both the crow and deer are denying its friendship without any reason, without
explaining the things happened. Elephant suggested to the duo that it is better
that every animal should maintain the hormony with another animal and allow
friendship with fox.The duo explained the things happened in the past.The
elephant become furious and warned the fox to not to behave over smart.
The lesson we can learn from it is that the cunning people
approach the higher level persons to get their things done.Here, the wise
person should be prepared to give an appropriate and timely reply to save
themselves. Otherwise, the wise person will be a prey to the troubles created
by the cunning people.
The story does not end here. Now again fox has approached the crow
and proposed that we should be friends.It started praising that you are most
intelligent and I am too.If we work together, we can make wonders.Crow didn't
accept for the propsal.Finally, after waiting for a few days, fox assured that
you are not going to loose any thing out of our friendship. I can't harm you
even.Let us plan and kill the deer. I will offer more amount of flesh, which
you can feed it to your community.Listening to this crow was enraged and said
what I can answer for killing the deer, which is a long time friend.Also ,I
loose my credibility for befriending with you.Any thing lost can be regained.
But, regaining the credibility is not an easy thing.
The lesson we can learn is that the cunning people chooses the
different ways and revises the proposals and try to convince others that they
are going to get the profit.But, in true sense, it is a loss to be sustained.
The wise people like crow should be firm to reject propsals from such people in
any format.
The story does not end here. Fox wanted to take the help of a
bigger animal to kill deer.But, the crow was clever enough to approached the
Lion, the king of the forest along with the deer. It explained the maladies in
the present forest and previous forest.King assured to protect the duo out of any
danger.The duo came out of the den.
The lesson we can learn is that many wicked people involve the
highest order of the people by convincing them with cock and bull stories. Most
of the officers and leaders believe the person who represents the matter.Believing
the wise person after the enquiry is a time taking process. Hence, the wise
people should brought their argument to the higher authorities before it is
done by cunning people. It is also important to keep an eye on the
cunningpeople to assess the things and taking precautionary measures as is the
case with the crow.
Story does not end here. The deer was astonished about the
information having about the fox.The crow replied that keeping quiet is treated
by fox as weakness.After the reproposal ,I went to that forest inhabited by the
fox and enquired about it. It was revealed that the mischievous behaviour was
performed by the fox in that forest.Deer felt
happy about the cleverness of the crow and appreciated it whole
heartedly. It also recognised its ignorance of the accounts taking place.
The lesson we can learn is that in case of extremity in the
behaviour of the person, one should verify the antecedents of the that person.
The story does not end here. Deer wanted to take revenge on the
fox and to invite fox to the dinner and stab.... it with its sharp horns.But,
crow pacified deer not to do so.But, knowing about the killing instinct of the
deer ,the fox escaped to another forest.
The story does not end here. The deer infored the crow that the
fox escaped to another forest.The crow smiled smartly and said I know
it.Actually I informed the fox that you are furious about it and kill it by inviting it to dinner at
any cost through another fox.I was also monitoring what is happening. Deer felt
happy about the wisdom of the crow.
The lessons we can learnt is that generally people use to take
ferocious decisions out of the anger.Wise people don't have control over their
emotions and used to be blamed by others.But, cunning people control their
emotions and act according to the situation. Hence, every one should be careful
to handle the cunning persons, as was done by crow.
The crow replied that in the previous forest also, the fox was not
set right to some extent, till small animals were revolted against it and
complained to that forest king.The deer asked a clarification, whether you
replicated the same in our forest.Crow clarified that we require the help of a
bigger animal to save us.If we wouldn't have been approached the Lion and fox
would have brought problems to us and even elephant for meddling.The deer
nodded its head as a sign of understanding. There after all the animals lived
together happily ever after.
The lesson we can learn is that crow not only planned, monitore
the things.But, in every occasion it explained its decisions and convinved the
deer ,wherever necessary. In case of inevitability, it raised the toned and
warned the deer. Even it controlled the emotions of its ignorant partner.It is
the true nature of the leader
