Two hardworking farmers’ Shravan & Sham lived together growing cucumbers in their field.
One night a pesky jackal ate up all the cucumbers in a stealthy manner. Next morning when Shravan & sham discovered it they were shocked. Sham advised “why don’t we build a hut here & keep a watch on the crops.” Soon the idea was implemented. Sham decided to guard the fields. Next night the fox came and discovered their guarding system. So the Jackal tricked Sham by calling itself a ghost. This scared Sham and made him to run away.
Again Jackal ate up all the crops.
This time Shravan decided to guard the field. So later at night Shravan took the guard position. The Jackal tried the same trick again. But this time the Jackal was exposed and his cover was blown off. Shravan was acknowledged that the cucumber thief was none other than a Jackal. He bought his bamboo cane and silently hit the jackal on its back. The Jackal moaned in pain and ran away. Then from the next day the two farmers started growing crops and lead a happy life ever after.
