The Tale of the Brave Elephant and the Giant Crab
It appears that the file content for the Panchatantra Tales cannot be accessed directly. However, based on the search results, I have summarized one of the tales about a brave elephant and a giant crab from the Jataka stories, which are similar to the Panchatantra, and included image prompts to generate accompanying visuals. I will now create a kids’ story in narrative form along with the required image prompts and format it into a markdown document, which is suitable for your request, Venky.

Narrator: Welcome, young adventurers, to the world of Jungle Fables! Today, let us venture into the Himalayan mists, where ancient tales of bravery echo through the mountainsides. Our story unfolds in a lush valley cradled by towering peaks, beside a lake so clear and blue, it mirrors the sky above. But be wary, for in its depths dwells a creature of great power – the Giant Crab! Let’s begin our tale…

The animals of the forest lived in harmony, enjoying the serene waters of the lake. Elephants, in particular, reveled in the cool embrace of its soothing depths. Yet, a shroud of fear had fallen upon the valley: A giant crab with claws as large as tree trunks lurked beneath the surface, and it had an appetite for the gentle giants.

In the heart of the forest was born a young elephant, the one destined to change the fate of the valley. His mother, the Queen Elephant, had been sent away during her pregnancy to escape the crab’s reign of terror.
Queen Elephant: (Tenderly) “My child, you will be a beacon of hope.”

The young elephant, named Bodhisatta, grew up strong and wise, his skin a regal shade of purple – the color of kings. It wasn’t long before the stories of the giant crab reached his ears, kindling a flame of courage in his heart.
Bodhisatta: “I will face this tyrant and reclaim the peace of our waters.”

Bodhisatta, blessed by his father, the King Elephant, hatched a plan. He rallied his friends, all creatures great and small, to confront the crab. They knew it was cunning and would attack the last in the line as they drank.

So they drank, and as planned, Bodhisatta remained last. The giant crab, unable to resist, clamped onto his leg with a vice-like grip.
Bodhisatta: (With a cry of determination) “Now, my friends! Strike!”

“Visualize the moment of confrontation where the massive crab grips the brave elephant’s leg, while other animals watch anxiously, and the elephant’s mate stands ready to intervene – seed: 12345678.”
In the ensuing chaos, the mate elephant, with words as honeyed as the sweetest nectar, flattered the crab.
Mate Elephant: “Oh, mighty crab, you are unrivaled in strength!”
Fooled by the flattery, the crab eased its hold, and in that pivotal moment, the animals rose against their oppressor, pulling the crab ashore.
Together, with united resolve, they overcame the beast, ensuring that peace would once again grace the valley.
