Explanation:
Cleverness is a wonderful thing, but honest cleverness is even better. This is the type of story that is meant to amuse or entertain. I don't think the key to it is cleverness -- not really.
The jackal made very good use of his wits and we are impressed with this. It is not the kind of story that I would tell young children. They would pick up on the humor very quickly -- although I think they'd love it. I sort of think that Gogo agrees with me.
The Lion and the Jackal already had a history, and that is why the Jackal was afraid. But he has one more plan. He pleads for the Lion's help to prevent the rocks from falling on them. He pretends that all is lost and the Lion is the only one who can save them. When the lion realizes what the Jackal is talking about, he puts his shoulder to the nearest rock and ...
