Why do bats come out in the dark? Panchatantra Stories

Why do bats come out in the dark? Panchatantra Stories in English Why Do Bats Come Out Only In The Dark? A long time ago, a violent battle broke out between the animals and the birds. The birds pecked at the animals and flew away out of their reach and the infuriated animals did not allow the birds to land on the ground to have food or water. This battle went on for many days. The bats decided not to be smart and not pick sides and stay neutral. They thought to themselves, “Ours is a special position, we are birds because we can fly, and we are animals because we do not lay eggs.” So, the proud bats decided to join the winners. When the bats saw that the birds were in a winning position, they would start hobnobbing with them, and when they felt that the animals were winning, they joined their camp. The bats thought they were being very smart by changing their loyalties based on who was winning. They only looked out for their own interests and would hop from one camp to the other.Gradua...

Farmer, please don't kill me.I, I will help you. What is this ? A hen that can speak ? Ahhh, Okay, I will not kill you then. But, how can you help me, please let me know. If you leave me without killing I will lay a golden egg, every day for you What ? A golden egg ? That too every day ? But why should I be believing you now ? You might be lying to me right ? Please believe me. If I do not lay a golden egg tomorrow, You you can kill me. Fine I will wait till tomorrow then. The farmer put aside the hen, without killing it.


The next morning, As soon as the farmer woke up, He went near the chicken to find whether it has laid any golden egg. Oh! It is true? Ah! It's an egg of solid gold He happily took the golden egg and went to the town to sell it. He stood in the middle of the street and shouted Golden eggs are for sale golden egg is for sale here now La la la la la Aaha....Ha What ? Is it really a golden egg ? Yes, it is an egg of solid gold. Soon the crowd gathered around him and were amazed to see the golden egg. I want it. No, it's mine. I want to buy it. Sell it to me. It's all yours then. Don't worry, I will bring another one tomorrow now. There are enough for everybody. The farmer sold the golden egg for a good price.

The next day, When he woke up He went straight to look out whether there is another golden egg. Good , Very good, another golden egg I'll sell it right away Ahh....Hahahahaha and once again, he went to town and sold the egg. Golden egg for sale Mm mm tell me, how much do you want ? After that day, the hen gave him a golden egg everyday. As the farmer grew richer, because of the golden eggs, he became greedy too. I want to have more and more money. I'm tired of waiting everyday. Just for one golden egg which is being laid. Ha... Then he thought and thought. I'm going to kill the hen and I will find the goldmine she has inside and I will have all her treasures at once.
