15. The Crane and the Crab


high-definition creative commons posters depicting The Crane and the Crab from the Pañcatantra together with further information.

An old crane tells the fish in a pond that he will move them to a safer lake to save them from a drought. Instead, he eats them one by one. When he tries the same trick on a crab, the crab feels the crane’s neck and realizes the deception. The crab chokes the crane to death, saving himself through quick thinking.
