A cat fools the animals in the jungle by pretending to be holy and pious. A frog finds himself in a dangerous predicament with a hungry crow. A clever deer knows exactly what she must do to keep her babies safe. Animal stories have always been a popular and humourous way of pointing out very human failings like greed, vanity, and ignorance. The stories in this collection are from Rajasthan, tales that have been handed down over generations - changing and growing with each new telling.
