One day a jackal accidentally entered into a washer man’s house. By chance the jackal fell into the indigo-vat. He came out of the vat. But his coat of hair, turned blue. He looked at the colour and said, ‘Oh! What a grand colour I have. I am fit to be the king of the beasts.’ He entered the woods. All the beasts became amazed at the blue colour of the jackal. They took the jackal for a strange beast. The jackal said, ‘Oh beasts of the forest, blue are the colour that kings and queens wear. The goddess of the forest has made me your king. From today I am your king.’ The beasts said, ‘You are our king, oh lord!’ Even tigers and lions owned him as their king. They began to attend on him. The blue jackal became very proud. He began to hate other jackals of the forest.
One day, as the blue king was enjoying him, a pack of jackals passed by and began howling. Unable to control his natural instinct, the blue king rose up and howled to glory. From the yell a tiger at once knew him to be a jackal. He fell on the blue king and killed him.
