Bedtime Stories For Kids - Story Of The Silly Camel
There was a dense forest, where a dangerous lion lived. The crow, the jackal and the leopard were always with him as his servants. The lion used to eat every day after hunting and all three of them used to fill their stomach with the remaining prey.
One day a camel came in that forest, which was separated from its companions. The lion had never seen a camel. The crow told the lion that it is a camel and does not live in the jungle. It might have come here from a nearby village. You can fill your stomach by hunting it. The cheetah and the jackal also liked the crow's talk.
After listening to all three, the lion said that no, he is our guest. I will not fall prey to it. The lion went to the camel and the camel told him everything about how he got separated from his companions and reached the forest. The lion took pity on that weak camel and told him that you are our guest, you will stay in this forest only. The crow, the leopard and the jackal started cursing the camel in their hearts after hearing this.
The camel obeyed the lion and started living in the forest. Soon he became healthy after eating the grass and green leaves of the forest.
Meanwhile, one day the lion had a fight with a wild elephant and the lion was badly injured. He could not go hunting for many days. Due to lack of hunting, the lion and its dependent crows, leopards and jackals started becoming weak.
When he did not get anything to eat for several days, the jackal said to the lion that Maharaj you have become very weak and if you do not hunt, the condition may worsen. On this the lion said that I have become so weak that now I cannot hunt anywhere. If you guys bring any animal here, then by hunting it I can feed myself and all three of you.
On hearing this, the jackal told Tapak that if you wish, Maharaj, we can bring the camel here, you can hunt it. The lion got angry after hearing this and said that he is our guest, I will never hunt him.
Jackal asked that Maharaj if he surrenders himself in front of you? The lion said then I can eat him.
Then the jackal along with the crow and the leopard made a plan and went to the camel and said that our king has become very weak. He hasn't eaten anything for days. If Maharaj wants to eat us too, I will surrender myself to him. After listening to the jackal, the crow, cheetah and camel also started saying that I am also ready to be the Maharaj's food.
All four went to the lion and first of all the crow said that Maharaj you make me your food, the jackal said that you are very small, you are not even good for food or breakfast. Then the cheetah said that Maharaj you eat me, then the jackal said that if you die then who will be the commander of the lion? Then the jackal surrendered himself, then the crow and the leopard said who would become the advisor to the king after you.
When the lion did not eat all three, then the camel also thought that Maharaj will not eat me too, because I am his guest. Thinking this, he also started saying that Maharaj, you make me your food.
On hearing this, lions, cheetahs and jackals pounced on him. Before the camel could understand anything, its soul had left the body and all four had made it their food.
