                         TIT  FOR  TAT
                       ==============
      Once upon a time a gentle camel lived in a forest.At a stone's throw from his dwelling,resid-
ed a puckish jackal.Both had only a nodding acq-
uiantance with each other.The jackal with some ulterior motives,one day approached the camel and showering fulsome praise of his head and heart upon him,chummed up with him.In due course they became fast friends.
       One day the jackal came to know about a field across the river chock-a-block with luscious
melons.His mouth watered .But he was unable to go there as he could not cross the river.He went to the camel and geckered to him about the melons. The camel too was greatly tempted.
  They decided to go there.The sly jackal mounted the camel and they crossed the river and reached there.They started chomping on the scrumptious melons delightfully.
 The jackal's gut was filled to the brim a tad earlier.He geckered to the camel,"It is my habit to howl after a heavy meal."The camel who was still half-fed,tried to restrain the jackal from doing so. But the wicked jackal turned a deaf ear to his pleadings and started yowling.
  The owner of the field heard the cry of the jackal.He dashed to the spot with a bamboo.On seeing him,the jackal darted away without telling the camel who was still busy in eating.The hapless camel was entrapped and the owner thrashed him black and blue.
     The lugubrious camel ambled painfully to the river where the jackal was waiting for him.He jumped on the camel's back to cross the river.When the camel reached the middle of the river,he grunted to jackal,"It is my habit to wallow in the water after a heavy meal.I am going to roll down."
   A thrill of horror shimmied down the spine of the jackal.He pleaded with the camel not to do so as he would be submerged into the water.But the 
camel scoffed at his him and rolled down.Conse-
quently the impish jackal met his watery grave .
