Why Jackal Howls at the Moon

Schakal will immer das haben, was ihm nicht gehört. Das Nest, den Bau, das Futter der anderen – und zwar sofort. Die Tiere beraten, wie sie Schakal los werden können. Da hat Schildkröte eine Idee: Sie lenken ihn ab. Mit etwas, das er noch nie gekostet hat und das ihm vom Himmel direkt ins Maul tropft: Mondhonig!

You see, there was a time when Jackal didn't howl at the moon. He was a trickster and he always wanted what was not rightfully his. Jackal took over Hen's nest and Aardvark's burrow. He even took the cub's supper from Mama Cheetah! Enough was enough! The animals decided to teach Jackal a lesson and made him believe that the moon is made of the sweetest, most delicious honey in Tinga Tinga. Of course, Jackal instantly wanted some, but it never came. From that day on Jackal howls up at the moon, waiting for another drop of delicious MOOoooon honey!
