ONCE a jackal saw a bullock and would not give
up his company. The bullock roamed about and
the jackal followed him. The jackal thought: "There
hang the bullock's testicles. Sometime or other they
will drop to the ground and I shall eat them."
When the bullock slept on the ground, the jackal
lay down too, and when the bullock moved about,
the jackal followed him. Many days passed in this
way, but the bullock's testicles still clung to his
body. The jackal went away disappointed.
That also happens to flatterers. They think that the
rich man will loosen his purse strings for them. But
it is very difficult to get anything from him.
