Publisher's Notes
V&S Publishers has been in the forefront in publishing story books for children - under the imprint Gopu Books. Most books are educational, moral and value-based in nature. Nearly every book published under this imprint has been lapped up by parents and guardians on behalf of their children, both in English and Hindi versions. Since the dawn of time, parents have used stories with morals to teach children about the values of the family, about life, difference between right and wrong, good and bad. A story with a moral can help, more so contemporary ones with which children can relate conveniently. Unlike most prevalent books in the market that exist only for their entertainment value, this book Jungle Tales for Children offers to build strength of character and respect for others.
This book is a compilation of 50 one-page stories for children. Language used is elementary and simple. Each story comes with caricature based illustration in black & white - a presentation no other publisher has attempted before. Being different from the ordinary run of the mills type, the caricatures retain interest of young readers. The moral at the end of the story summaries precisely what the child is supposed to learn!
By reading stories, children will gather how characters deal with situations and work through issues, they gain experience without having to go through those conditions themselves. Their horizon is expanded that fits the ethos and mores of a traditional society like ours.
We would be glad to receive feedback from parents so that future publications retain the flavour of enlightened views that expand horizon of our young readers.

reward for a Mindless fool
R amlal got his son married. In order to carry his dowry his son's in laws gave him several donkeys. But one donkey was a prankster. He would trot and hop around all the time. Therefore Ramlal decided to leave him half way through. And the donkey lived independently in the jungles. One day a man on bullock cart arrived in the jungle. He sat under a shady tree to rest for a while. He tied his bulls from a tree and started to cook a meal for himself.
Donkey went on trotting towards those bulls. He said, 'if you will listen to me I can free you from this painful job of bearing burden.’ But both the bulls were related, one was the uncle and other was the nephew. The uncle bull liked what the donkey has suggested here, whereas the nephew bull shrugged the donkey's suggestion off. He said, ’our master keeps us so well why you don't see that.' Donkey replied, ’after all you are a slave.' And the uncle bull decided to follow this donkey's advice from the time on. As soon as the bullock cart started to move the uncle bull fell on the ground flat. And started to breathe heavily.
The bullock cart driver thought his bull has fallen ill. But how can he drag his cart with only one bull? He looked around in the forest and saw a donkey was roaming there. The driver did not see here or there he caught hold of the donkey and dragged him in his cart to be pulled. And lugged the ill uncle bull over his bullock cart. To see donkey working at the place of a bull, the nephew bull remarked, ’this is what happens to those who try to work and advice mindlessly.'

Moral
What one does, gels it back this is the teaching of time.

the tug of privilege
O nce upon a time there was a forest. In that forest there lived a Fox. She used to think very clever of herself. One day a rabbit came running and hid himself in her burrow. The fox asked, 'why did you come running here and have put your life in danger as well.’ The rabbit held his breath calmly and spoke after hiding his fear, ‘Oh dear sister! All the animals in the jungle are after my life to take over the post of jungle chief. But I do not intend to become one. And after a lot of struggle I just ran away by avoiding there persuasions.'
Fox replied, ‘are you a fool? To be a chief is the matter of privilege and it has its own charm as well. If one has power in one’s hand then what can be better than that.’ Rabbit said, ‘then why don’t you take this position sister? I cannot possibly take care of this position on my own.’ Fox was very pleased and somewhat greedy of getting such a powerful position, as soon as she went outside to grab hold of the position, she saw two blood thirsty tigers waiting for the rabbit to arrive. They both pounced at the fox. Somehow she escaped but in this ordeal both of her ears were eaten by the tigers and they snatched it. Fox ran inside her burrow and this time rabbit asked, ‘why dear sister you have come so soon?’ the fox replied, ‘there is a lot of hassle in being the jungle chief, so much so that it can cost you your ears.’ To become a ruler without having the right ability brings such misery to people who aspire for bigger positions in life.

Moral
If one is not fully able then must not aspire for bigger jobs or higher positions.

the golden horse
I n Shivpur village there lived a man called Manik. Whatever Manik had to say he will elongate it till length. To spin yams was one of his habits. One day Manik was sitting outside his house. All of a sudden King's men came looking for something there. They asked him if he has seen a white coloured horse passing by. But Manik was helpless because of his habit and said, ‘the one who has seen a golden horse why he would be bothered to see a silver horse?' whatever Manik spoke all the King's men went and told this to their King, that one of his country person owns a gold coloured horse and such a horse can only be suitable for a king.
Manik was called immediately by the King. King said to Manik that he must give his golden horse to him and in return he can get as much gold as he wants from his treasure. But Manik was helpless by his own folly of blabbering; he said ‘what I will do with so much of gold because I have seen heaps of diamonds myself.' But King asked Manik to take as much of diamond from him but he must give his golden horse to the him. But again Manik was busy spinning yarns and replied to the King, what I will do with all these diamonds I have seen several treasures of precious gems and jewels.
Again King said ‘you can take as many precious jewels from me but give me your golden horse'. And Manik spoke again, ‘what is gold or pearls and jewels or diamond or even a golden horse, which is nothing in worth because I have seen a flying horse as well'. Everyone understood by now Manik has a habit of spinning r
