THE DONKEY 'S BRAIN

In the forest once lived a lion. He had a jackal as his partner. They both always went together for hunting. The lion always killed the animals and the jackal got his share for helping the lion. One day, the lion fell-sick. He could not go out. But he was very hungry. He called the jackal and he said, "O friend, I am hungry. But, I am too sick to hunt. You have to help me by colleting some food". The jackal went out to search the prey. He found a donkey at last. The jackal said to the donkey, "Hello, Sir! The king of the forest wants to meet you to make you his minister of his court". The foolish donkey was so happy that he could not imagine of the plot. He followed the jackal. The lion killed the donkey. But, before eating, he felt so thirsty. The lion told the jackal, “Take care of the donkey. I will return in no time". When the lion left, the jackal began to eat the brain of the donkey. On returning, 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?"
