Once there was a bat who lived in a jungle. One day, a big fight was about to take place between the birds and the beasts of the jungle. The bat was not willing to join any of the groups. When the birds asked him to join them, he said, “I cannot join you because I am a beast.” Later, when some beasts asked him to join them, he said, “I am a bird. How can I join you?” Luckily, at the last moment, peace prevailed and no battle took place. So, the bat asked the birds if he could join their group. But all the birds turned against him and the bat had to fly away. He then went to the beasts to join them, but all the beasts also turned against him and started hitting him. So, to save his life, the bat ran away from that place as quickly as possible, and took shelter in a deep dark cave. He still lives there!
