Approach Fierce Foolish Frightens Jackal Monkey Tibet Tiger Myth
The Jackal and the Tiger - A Timeless Myth from Tibet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us to the mythical landscapes of Tibet, where the ancient tales of the natural world come to life. In the heart of the wilderness, a den nestled among the rocks serves as the home of a cunning jackal. The den's entrance is guarded by two fierce statues, a tiger and a monkey, symbols of strength and wisdom, respectively. The story behind this intriguing scene is rooted in the rich folklore of Tibet. According to the myth, the tiger and the monkey, two powerful and wise creatures, approached the jackal's den with the intention of teaching him a lesson. However, the jackal, known for his sly and deceitful nature, was not one to be easily outwitted. As the tiger and the monkey drew near, the jackal, sensing their presence, sprang into action. With a fierce roar, he emerged from his den, challenging the tiger. The tiger, taken aback by the jackal's unexpected aggression, retreated, leaving the monkey behind. The jackal then turned his attention to the monkey, who, in his quest for knowledge, had ventured too close to the den. With a swift and cunning move, the jackal frightened away the monkey, demonstrating his ability to outwit even the most intelligent of creatures. This photograph, captured by an unknown photographer and sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the captivating world of Tibetan mythology. The image invites us to explore the timeless tales of the natural world and the lessons they hold for us all. The fierce tiger and the cunning jackal serve as a reminder that strength and wisdom are essential, but so too is the ability to adapt and outwit one's opponents. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the rich history and culture of Tibet.
