Summary

"I give you assurances," cried the Tiger to the Brahmin. "I shan't eat you if you let me out of the cage." But when the Brahmin makes the mistake of taking the Tiger at his word, he discovers that the dishonest beast intended to eat him all along. In the end, it is the wily jackal who comes to the Brahmin's aid and teaches him a lesson he had never found in his holy books. This clever, absorbing adaptation, written by Brian Gleeson, is read by Ben Kingsley. Musical accompaniment by Ravi Shankar brings this beloved Indian folktale to life for the entire family.

Most of the Rabbit Ears are excellent and listened to them when my kids were little but the Tiger and the Brahmin was always my favourite. The music, the narration, the story. Perfect.
