Numskull and the Rabbit Panchatantra Numskull and the Rabbit

Background Title means – “a treatise in five chapters” Contains fables designed to provide instruction for princes Animals are often used as characters because of the belief that Buddha is believed to have lived several lives as different animals.

Literary Terms Fable: brief, simple tale that teaches a lesson about conduct using animal characters Moral: lesson; may be directly stated or implied Trickster: character who uses wit to overcome the greater physical strength of another Rhetorical Question – questions meant for thought Anthropomorphism – giving human characteristics to an animal

Lessons The sins and/or bad decisions of one person can cause generations to suffer. Do not overtax the people by taking too much money or too many supplies. Do not send all of the men of the kingdom into battle at once. Study the enemy before a battle. Build strong defenses (fortress, archers, etc.).

Lessons Continued… Remember to offer honor, respect, and rewards to the people of the kingdom to earn loyalty. Provide safety and necessities for young men to grow healthily and develop wisdom/skills. A king without a kingdom has nothing – remember who provides food, income, etc. Do not engage in battles that cannot be won. Address problems immediately rather than allow them to grow.

Moral Brains over Brawn – The rabbit uses his brains to understand that Numskull will be blinded by flattery and pride, thus allowing the Rabbit to save the “people” of the kingdom without further bloodshed.
