The Panchatantra is a collection of ancient Indian fables. Many-a-times, the central characters are animals and birds, who show their most identifying characteristics in the various stories, and impart valuable life-lessons and morals. In this book, read a fine selection of six stories from the treasury of Panchatantra tales. Read about the three little fish friends, one wise, one smart and one foolish; about silly monkeys who thought they could light a fire with red berries and more!.
