A jackal was wandering in search of food. He was extremely hungry, as he didn't get sufficient food for two days. Suddenly an idea struck him.
A farmer named Kelachar, had a large sugarcane field nearby. When the sugarcanes had grown to full size, he had fenced the field safely, and he himself was staying there in a raised hut to see that no one destroys or steals sugarcane from his field.
One day, he was sitting in his Machan when the clever jackal approached him.
he jackal said, "Kelachar, something is going to happen this night. You know there is a big elephant staying in the forest. That elephant has an eye on your sugarcanes. So be alert with your bow and arrow." Kelachar was very perturbed. Due to his hard toil and the rich manure he put, his sugarcanes had grown up very well.
If the elephant attacked it, all his efforts would go waste. So he had to be on his guard. Kelachar took his bow and arrow and cleaned them. He took his food early that night and lay in wait for the elephant. From Kelachar's place, the jackal went straight to the hideout of the elephant.
The elephant was crouching on the ground near a pond.
