Chaalu Plays a Trick and Mus Saves her Tail

Chaalu was a very clever jackal. He was also old and found it difficult to hunt for his food. So when he saw Jingka, the plump deer, he decided to trick her into a trap. But Jingka had a very good friend, Kaaga the crow, who would do anything to save her. This is a story from the Hitopadesha.
