19. The Crow, the Jackal, the Wolf, and the Camel

A lion’s sycophants—a crow, jackal, and wolf—plot to eat a loyal camel. They trick the camel into offering itself as a sacrifice to the hungry lion. The lion, realizing the deception, protects the camel and punishes the others. It teaches that true loyalty is recognized by a wise leader, while the schemes of flatterers eventually lead to their own exposure.
