The Tale of King Kukudruma
Once upon a time, in a dense, emerald forest, there lived a clever jackal named Chandarava. He was quite the adventurer, often sneaking into the nearby town in search of tasty treats. But one fateful night, as the moon cast a silvery glow over the town, Chandarava’s escapade turned awry. Hounds spotted him, their barks as thunderous as tempests, and they gave chase with a furor only fury could fuel. In desperation, Chandarava darted this way and that until, with a splash, he found himself tumbling into a vat of indigo dye. He emerged, not as a golden jackal but as a creature of sapphire blue, as if the sky itself had painted him.
