The Jackal and The Tiger

 Long ago, a jackal and a tiger decided to hunt together.
The jackal would spot the prey and then the tiger would go and hunt down the animal.
 Each time, the tiger would take a bigger share of the food and leave a smaller portion
for the jackal. 
However, the jackal always had enough. He never went hungry. But after a few days, the jackal
began to feel greedy. He thought, "The tiger always gets the bigger share. I deserve better."
So he went up to the tiger and said, "From today I will hunt for myself."  The tiger realizing that
the jackal was getting greedy, wisely agreed.
 The next day, the jackal came across a herd of sheep. He remembered how the tiger hunted,
and boldly ran into the midst of the flock, only to get a sound thrashing from the shepherd.
The jackal ran away limping, thinking,  "I should have realized that I am only a jackal, and not a tiger."
