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...
