THE INDIAN STORY
THE FOUR FRIENDS AND THE HUNTER - A STORY FROM THE PANCHATANTRA
Once upon a time in a jungle, there lived four friends – a deer, a mouse, a crow and a tortoise. They were very good friends and would spend most of their time with one another.
One day, they saw a hunter approaching the clearing where they stayed. Quickly, the deer ran away into the trees, the crow flew to the highest branch of the closest tree and the mouse darted into a hole nearby. The turtle, being a slow creature, could not escape as fast as the others. The hunter trapped him in his net. Though the hunter was disappointed on not being able to catch the deer, he was happy that he had the tortoise and would not go hungry.
The deer, the mouse and the crow were very worried to see their friend caught. They came up with a plan to save him.

The deer, the mouse and the crow were very worried to see their friend caught. They came up with a plan to save him.
The crow flew high up in the sky to locate the hunter. Then, the deer overtook the hunter, unseen, and went and lay at a little distance on the path, pretending to be dead. When the hunter saw the deer lying on the ground, he thought the deer must be dead. He was very happy at having found a deer finally. He dropped the bag carrying the tortoise and went towards the deer. As soon as the hunter left the tortoise’s side, the mouse cut through the net of the bag and freed the tortoise.
The hunter, unaware of what the mouse had done, walked towards the deer. As soon as he came near the deer, it suddenly got up and bolted into the forest. The hunter was completely taken by surprise.
Disappointed, the hunter went back to pick up the bag containing the tortoise. But surprise! The bag was open and the tortoise was gone.
Shaking his head at his bad luck, the hunter went back home. The four friends lived together.

YOUR STORY, OUR SCRIPT
Petru, an ordinary young man, is walking down a dirt path. As he walks, he spots a piece of paper on the ground.
PETRU
Oh, what is this?
NARRATOR
On carefully observing, Petru has a joyous look on his face.
PETRU
What a lucky man I am! This is a map, a map to a priceless treasure! I shall embark on this journey in a few days.
NARRATOR
A few days later, we see Petru setting off on his quest to search for the great treasure…
PETRU
This map says I must first go through a dense forest.
NARRATOR
We see Petru slowly going through the forest when suddenly, a wild lion appeared!
PETRU
[Terrified] Pu-Please don’t harm me…
LION
Where are you off to human?
PETRU
I-I-I am searching for a precious treasure…
NARRATOR
Fearing for his life, Petru offered the lion a place in his adventure. Journeying together, they became good friends.
Along with his new friends, Petru journeyed on. As they were crossing a large mountain, the lion slipped and almost fell to his death, but Petru caught him in time and pulled him up. They soon arrived at a valley where they met a sheep.
SHEEP
Baaa-aa-aa where are you’ll going?
PETRU
We are on a quest to locate a priceless treasure. Would you like to join us? You can keep us warm when it is cold with your wool.
NARRATOR
And so the sheep joined them, becoming their new friend and, just as Petru forsaw, a cold wind started blowing. The three friends walked close to their fourth friend the sheep and thus kept themselves warm.
After a few days of journeying, the four friends reached the coast where they met an old and wise turtle.
PETRU
Oh wizened old turtle! Many a day we have spent searching for a treasure. Now, even after all this searching, we have found nothing…
TURTLE
Young adventurers, you believe you have found nothing but it is, in fact, quite the opposite. In your journey you have found a truly priceless treasure- the treasure of Friendship!
NARRATOR
It was as the turtle had said. The four friends found the most priceless treasure of all- friendship
