| − | In Asiatic folktale, jackal provides for the lion; he scares
| |
| − | up game, which the lion kills and eats, and receives what is
| |
| − | left as reward. In stories from northern India he is
| |
| − | sometimes termed "minister to the king," i.e. to the lion.
| |
| − | From the legend that he does not kill his own food has arisen
| |
| − | the legend of his cowardice. Jackal's heart must never be
| |
| − | eaten, for instance, in the belief of peoples indigenous to
| |
| − | the regions where the jackal abounds. ... In Hausa Negro
| |
| − | folktale Jackal plays the role of sagacious judge and is
| |
| − | called "O Learned One of the Forest." The Bushmen say that
| |
| − | Jackal goes around behaving the way he does "because he is
| |
| − | Jackal".
