6. The Gardener, the Farmer, and the Tyrant
high-definition creative commons posters depicting The Gardener, the Farmer, and the Tyrant from the Pañcatantra together with further information.
Three tales explore the dangers of foolish alliances and oppression. A gardener befriends a bear that accidentally kills him while trying to swat a fly. A farmer is tricked by thieves into believing his sheep is a dog. Finally, a tyrant’s cruelty leads his subjects to prefer the rule of a wild beast, showing that intelligence is the soul’s best protection.
