00:00Hello friends, today I am going to tell you another story of Panchatantra, and the title
00:14of the story is The Lion and the Cheetah.
00:19Long time ago in a jungle lived a lion named Oliver.
00:24Oliver was the king of the jungle.
00:27He and cheetah Lucifer were good friends.
00:30One day Oliver casually said to Lucifer, no animal can withstand me.
00:36You are right Oliver, however you act like a mouse in front of elephants.
00:42Oliver got severely angry, how dare you say this Lucifer.
00:50I was just kidding Oliver.
00:53Not Oliver, king, call me king, just like the other animals do.
01:01You are no different.
01:03But Oliver, we are friends, right?
01:06Our friendship is over.
01:09I will never talk to you again.
01:12Lucifer went away disheartened.
01:15After a few days, the minister of the jungle, Fox Loony nabbed monkey rocket.
01:22The most wanted criminal of the jungle, and presented him in front of Oliver.
01:28Rocket, the legend of your robberies is famous in jungle far away.
01:35You have not only robbed the animals, but have stolen my stuff as well.
01:42You get death sentence.
01:44Two months from now, you will be thrown from the cliff.
01:49Fox Loony put rocket in prison as soon as Oliver announced his decision.
01:56Rocket's friend Doodle Deer came to see him as the news travelled.
02:02Rocket, I told you, you will be nabbed someday if you don't stop stealing.
02:08Leave Doodle, whatever had to happen, I am just worried about my family.
02:13I wish I could have done something for them.
02:18Doodle got puzzled as he listened to Rocket.
02:21He went to meet Oliver and said, My king, I am Rocket's friend.
02:28I have come to say something.
02:30Say what you want to say.
02:32My king, I want you to set Rocket free, so that he can go to his home and help his family.
02:41He is a very cunning robber, and I have no sympathy for him.
02:47But my king, just think about his family for once.
02:52Whatever wrong he did, there is no mistake of his family.
02:57I cannot help you.
02:59Even if I release him, what guarantee is there that he won't run away?
03:06I can't take any risk.
03:09Doodle thought for a while, then said, Okay my king, please release Rocket.
03:16Till the time he returns, I will stay in prison on his behalf.
03:21What if he never returns?
03:23Will you accept death sentence as well?
03:26Yes, my king, I am even ready for this.
03:30Oliver agreed and released Rocket in exchange of putting Doodle in the prison.
03:36Don't worry Doodle, I will come back soon.
03:40Rocket left and Doodle stayed in prison.
03:44Many days passed, but Rocket didn't return.
03:48One day, Oliver went to Doodle and said, Doodle, I told you, Rocket will not come back.
03:57As per our agreement, if Rocket doesn't return by tomorrow evening, then you will be thrown
04:04from the cliff.
04:05When Rocket didn't show up next day, Oliver and Loonie took Doodle to the top of the mountain.
04:13Doodle, your friend cheated you, now get ready to die.
04:19Doodle replied fearlessly, It's okay my king, I am ready to die for my friend.
04:26Suddenly, Rocket showed up, then after reaching the spot, he said, Don't have to do this,
04:33my friend, I am forever thankful for what you have done for me, now I will conclude
04:39my punishment.
04:40Rocket, why did you come back?
04:44I would have served the punishment.
04:46No Doodle, I did this crime, so I should be the one serving punishment.
04:52Oliver thought as he noticed their friendship, both of them are ready to die for each other.
05:01And I broke friendship with my best friend for a tiny reason.
05:06After thinking for a while, Oliver said, No one has to die, on the grounds of your friendship,
05:14I am forgiving you, but remember Rocket, if you are again found stealing, I will not forgive
05:23you.
05:24No my king, I will never rob again.
05:27Okay, now you can go.
05:31Rocket and Doodle happily went away.
05:34Oliver then went to meet his friend Lucifer, and said, Lucifer, I have come here to apologize,
05:43I shouldn't have got angry on your joke, please forgive me my friend.
05:49But my king...
05:51King who?
05:52Call me Oliver.
05:53From now on, you will call me by my name, because that's what friends do.
06:03This way, through the friendship of Rocket and Doodle, Oliver realized his mistake and
06:09apologized to Lucifer and restored their friendship.
06:14So friends, from this story we learn a lesson that sometimes the good deeds of others become
06:21our source of inspiration, we should keep on doing good deeds, because we never know
06:28how many people we might inspire around us.
