All the animals were afraid of Lion because he was big and strong and brave. Lion was not afraid of anything!

Jackal on the other hand was not very big and he was not very brave. But he was clever and he liked to play tricks.

In this retelling of a traditional African folk tale Jackal proves that brains can be mightier than brawn.
