n this hilarious and clever folktale, we meet a tiger who is as foolish as he is fierce. One day, frightened by the way a father warned his son about “the tiger,” the confused animal hid inside a shed in the village — not knowing that he was the very creature they were talking about!Soon, four thieves arrived after a big robbery, carrying a huge treasure that was too heavy for them. In the darkness, they mistook the trembling tiger for a bullock. They loaded the treasure on his back, tied it tightly, and led him through the forest. On the way, they realized the horrible mistake — it was a tiger, not a bullock! Terrified, they ran for their lives.The poor tiger, shocked and burdened with the treasure, ran into the forest and got stuck between two trees. A kind shepherd rescued him, freed him from the ropes, and took the treasure home. Soon, the shepherd and his family became prosperous and happy.But the foolish tiger returned, suspecting the shepherd had tricked him. He took the shepherd away to kill him. At that moment, the shepherd’s wife — sharp, quick, and fearless — used her wit to outsmart the tiger and save her husband.This story reminds us that strength may frighten, but cleverness always wins — and even the fiercest creature can be fooled by human intelligence.

In this destruction, a mother bird and her two tiny chicks lost their home when their nest fell from a tree. Helpless and frightened, the mother bird flew to Krishna, who was surveying the battlefield with Arjuna. She pleaded for her children’s lives.Krishna gently explained that fate cannot be altered — if they were destined to perish, they would. But the little bird, filled with pure devotion, surrendered the life of her children at Krishna’s feet, trusting Him completely. Krishna remained silent, and the bird flew away with faith.On the eve of the great battle, Krishna did something unexpected: He asked Arjuna for his bow and arrow. Though Krishna had promised not to fight in the war, Arjuna handed it over. Krishna shot an arrow at an elephant — but instead of striking the animal, it hit only the bell on the elephant’s neck, knocking it down. Arjuna thought it was a miss, and the moment passed.Eighteen days later, after the war ended, the battlefield was filled with the fallen — men, animals, and shattered weapons. Krishna asked Arjuna to lift a bell lying on the ground. When Arjuna picked it up, he discovered the mother bird and her four chicks alive beneath it. Krishna’s single action — shooting down the bell — had formed a shield that protected the family throughout the entire war
