18. The Partridge and the Hawk


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

A hawk captures a partridge and promises to spare its life if the bird leads it to a larger covey. The partridge agrees, betraying its own kind for survival. However, once the hawk finishes the others, it eats the partridge anyway. The fable warns that traitors are never trusted by their masters and eventually suffer the same fate they dealt others.
