I am creating a folk tale for english and need feedback.
heres a summary of the story:
A buddhist monk lives with his two pets a Tiger and Jackal.
ONe day the Jackal eats the Tigers food and the Tiger tells him if he needs help getting food furing the day he will help.
the Jackal wants fish so the tiger helps but ends up getting caught by the fish guy.
things like this happen till a flood floods the Ganges river, and the monk and jackal are being swept away holding on to branches.
the Tiger helps out the Monk and the Jackal dies
If you cant really find what this story is trying to imply (the behaviors that are rewarded and punished) and the morale just then tell me so i can change it

Since you didn't give the whole story, my question is, what about the monk? Why is the tiger helping him and not the jackal? Does the monk help the tiger out somehow? Other than being the 'owner' of these creatures, the monk doesn't seem to do anything until he get rescued by the tiger...
If the Tiger gets caught by the 'fish guy', how does he get out...does the monk help him?
I can see the 'moral' of the story okay, but hope you have more details in the real tale.
