"Told in India"

.Folktale from India.

The Valiant Chattee-Maker--an ordinary man captures a tiger and makes a fortune; Little Jackals and the Lion--the lesson is, cleverness can be more powerful than strength; The Cat and the Parrot--the lesson is, one cannot eat all one sees; The Blind Man, The Deaf Man, and the Donkey--friends defeat a demon and give each other a great gift; The Alligator and the Jackal--the lesson learned, it is difficult to find a meal through trickery; Sir Buzz--a tiny impudent man helps a soldier's son and his beloved; The Tiger, The Brahman and the Jack--a man is saved from death by a clever act; and The Banyan Deer--an act of mercy earns a beautiful creature his life.
