Once upon a time in a forest, there lived six cows. The cows lived and moved as a herd, to graze and drink water from the nearby lake. The fellow animals had regards to their friendship. A tiger, which came to the forest for the first time, got tempted on seeing the cows which were stout and healthy. It determined to eat them, come what may. However, cows being together had become a big challenge to the tiger. So, the tiger waited for the right opportunity to hunt the cows, when they are not in a herd.
One day, the tiger saw, five of the cows grazing on one side and the other one grazing a little far from the rest of them. The tiger initiated a sweet talk with the cow and tempted the cow saying, "There is a hilly area nearby with green pastures. I can accompany you to the place. You can happily eat how much ever, you want".
The cow believed the tiger. It followed the tiger ignoring the warnings from the other cows. After walking quiet a distance, the tiger attacked the cow and attempted to kill it. The cow was shocked with the sudden attack. It cried saying to itself, that, it learnt a good lesson for ignoring its friends warnings. Meanwhile, the other cows which were following them from a distance, attacked the tiger, all at once. "We suspected you, when you tried to separate one of us. So, we secretly followed you", said one of the cows. Having understood, how dangerous it is to move alone, the cow never left the herd.
