105. The
Jackal's Treat
Once, a hunter,
who was very well versed in archery, had gone to a forest to hunt a animal.
Then he saw a boar and shot a sharp arrow directly to the boar's back. The
arrow tore at the boar's back and caused a deep wound. In writhing pain and
anger the wild boar rushed at the hunter and pierced his stomach with its sharp
and pointed fangs. At once the proud hunter and the wild boar lay dead due to
their injuries. After sometime a jackal passed from there and became happy to
see such a wonderful feast. The jackal proceeded to taste his succulent treat.
Just as he bit into the boar's flesh, the pointed arrow pierced the top of his
mouth and came out between his eyes. Soon the jackal too lay dead as the hunter
and the boar.
