Once upon a time, animals lived in homes, just like humans. Jackal arrives at home, feeling very hungry. He sees Lion fixing his roof and asks Lion if he could share some food, but Lion refuses. So Jackal decides to help Lion fix his roof, hoping Lion will change his mind. Lion still refuses. Jackal decides to tie Lion to his roof and proceeds to eat all of Lion's food. Lion goes hungry because he was not willing to share. Based on a traditional South African folktale.
