The Jackal and the Elephant

---

Once upon a time, in the dense forest of Brahmaranya, there lived a magnificent elephant named Karpurathilaka. His presence was like a gentle giant amongst the trees, and all the forest animals looked at him with awe. Meanwhile, a group of clever jackals roamed the forest, their bellies always grumbling for more food. One day, they gazed upon Karpurathilaka and thought, “If only we could find a way to fill our stomachs with the food he could provide us for months!”

An old and wise jackal then came forward with a twinkle in his eye, “Leave it to me,” he said. “I shall use my clever mind to outwit the elephant.”

With a plan in mind, the old jackal approached the elephant with an air of importance. “Oh, mighty Karpurathilaka,” he said as he bowed low, “I bear a message from the forest. You have been chosen to be our King!”

Prompt: Illustrate the wise old jackal bowing respectfully before the grand elephant Karpurathilaka in a lush forest, with admiration and slyness in the jackal’s eyes. Seed: 12345678.

Karpurathilaka’s ears twitched with curiosity, “A King, you say?” The jackal nodded earnestly, “But of course! One who is noble like you should lead us all. Come quickly, for the auspicious time to crown you King is upon us!”

Swayed by the promise of a crown, Karpurathilaka followed the jackal towards what he believed was a ceremony in his honor. The jackal led the elephant near a hidden quagmire, deftly avoiding it by sticking to the firm edge.

Prompt: Depict the elephant Karpurathilaka following the old jackal through the dense jungle, with the quagmire hidden in the foliage. Seed: 12345678.

Unfortunately, Karpurathilaka, blinded by his dream of kingship, stepped right into the quagmire. With a start, he found himself trapped, “Friend jackal, I am stuck! What shall I do?”

With a smirk, the jackal turned and said mockingly, “Hold onto my tail, your Majesty! Trusting one such as I has led you to this fate.” And with those harsh words, the jackal left the poor elephant to his plight.

Prompt: Capture the moment the elephant realizes his predicament in the quagmire with the jackal looking back mockingly in the dimming forest light. Seed: 12345678.

Days passed, and Karpurathilaka, unable to free himself, perished in the quagmire. The jackals, as planned, had their feast.

Prompt: Convey the sorrowful demise of Karpurathilaka with the silhouette of jackals in the twilight, feasting in the background. Seed: 12345678.

And so, the tale of Karpurathilaka comes to an end, with a reminder always to beware of whom you trust, for not all who flatter are friends.
