Once, on a cold winter's night, a jackal walked into a village looking for food. The jackal was very hungry as there was no food left in the forest. ″Perhaps,″ said the jackal to himself, ″I will find something to eat in the village.″ Soon he was making such a noise that the village dogs heard him. Now, these dogs did not like jackals. They began barking and attacked the jackal. They bit the jackal with their big teeth. Terrified, the poor jackal ran from the dogs as fast as he could, but the dogs did not give up - they ran after him, barking even more loudly. The jackal did not know what to do. Suddenly he saw the wall of a yard before him. He immediately jumped over the wall and straight into a large pot of blue dye, left there by a dyer, ready to be used in the morning. The jackal′s fur was now bright blue. Meanwhile, the dogs couldn't see or smell the jackal any more. They decided to wait near the wall of the yard, just in case he appeared again. But instead of the jackal, a strange blue creature came walking out of the gate. The dogs were afraid. The jackal was surprised when the dogs ran away in fright.
