Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The jackal was clever. 3.) Why did he pretend to be foolish and mad? Answer: He wanted to help the Brahman by playing tricks with the tiger, so he pretended to be foolish.
Detailed explanation-2: -This tale from India is about a good-hearted Brahman-or holy man-who helps a tiger out of a trap. The tiger then turns on him and threatens to eat him. The Brahman struggles to find any one-or any thing-that will agree that the tiger is wrong.
Detailed explanation-3: -1. The Tiger symbolizes an arrogant and manipulative person. 2. The Jackal represents a trickster.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: Next a buffalo, exploited and mistreated by humans, agrees it is only just that the brahmin should be eaten. Finally they meet a jackal who, sympathetic to the brahmin’s plight, at first feigns incomprehension of what has happened and asks to see the trap.
Detailed explanation-5: -The moral of the story “The Brahmin, the Tiger, and the Jackal” is that greed and dishonesty can lead to defeat, while fairness and honesty can lead to success and respect from others.
