= **//__When The Blue Jackal Showed his True Colors:__//** = A long time ago in a jungle near a village, there was an ashamed and hungry jackal. He hated being just another jackal. One day he wandered from the pack in search of food, and came to the village. While there he was attacked by a group of hungry and scary dogs. He ran in fear away and into a dyers shop. He jumped into a vat of blue ink and slid down so they couldn't see him. He got out and saw himself in a piece of broken glass. He had turned completely blue. They ran past him because they thought the jackal they were looking for wasn't blue, and in relief he went back to the jungle. A parrot saw him and said, " look at that odd and amazing color of that animal. Who are you? ". The jackal said he was sent to become the new king of the jungle and so he claimed the kingdom for himself. He got to work right away assigning jobs to all the animals. The jaguars served him food, the lions became his closest nobles, but when the jackals came up to be given a job he made them leave because he thought since he was the best of them, they shouldn't have a job only him be the honored one. The mad jackals left and began to plan a tricky little plan. The oldest of them came up with the best plan. He said, " We will go to the place in our pack and howl right in front of him. Then he will show his true colors. We know he is one of us and since he has ignored us he will pay for being so selfish. All of us know we can't resist the urge to howl together as one. ". So they went off to the place. They howled and yelled and as he joined in the animals saw who he really was and banished him from the kingdom. When he tried to join his friends again they banished him as well for being obsessed with control and denying his true nature. In shame he ran away and soon became the spirit of selfishness when he died.
