In a lush green jungle near an Indian village, a clever jackal named Chatur loved to explore and find tasty treats. One hot afternoon, Chatur heard a strange rustling sound and decided to investigate. As he tiptoed through the tall grass, he suddenly saw a big, shiny trap set by the villagers to catch a wild animal. The trap had a heavy wooden door, a snare, and some fragrant mangoes nearby. Chatur’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, but he knew he had to be careful. He wondered how to outsmart the trap without getting caught.
Chatur carefully examined the trap. It was big and strong, with a heavy wooden door that could snap shut at any moment. Nearby, a sneaky fox had tried to lure the trap with a juicy mango, but it was caught. Chatur realized he needed a clever plan. Just then, he saw the mighty lion, Raja, resting under a tree. Chatur called out, 'Raja! I need your help. There’s a trap that could catch any animal, even you! We must be smart to stay safe.' The lion, wise and calm, nodded and agreed to help his tiny friend.
Raja the lion thought deeply and then whispered his plan. 'We will use a strong stick and some stones. Chatur, you will distract the trap by making noise, while I hide behind the bushes. When the trap is triggered, I will gently push the door open with the stick, and we will free the trapped animal.' Chatur nodded excitedly. With teamwork and cleverness, they prepared the tools and waited patiently. Soon, the trap was triggered by a curious squirrel, and Raja swiftly acted, freeing the tiny creature and saving the day.
After the rescue, all the animals cheered and thanked Raja and Chatur. The squirrel scampered happily into the trees, safe and free. Chatur looked at his friends and said, 'Being clever and working together helps us stay safe and happy.' The lion nodded wisely, reminding everyone that kindness and intelligence are the greatest strengths. From that day on, the jungle was a safer place, filled with friendship and clever ideas. And the villagers, seeing the animals’ teamwork, decided to set fewer traps and live peacefully with the jungle’s creatures.
