The Clever Ram and the Cowardly Tiger: A Traditional African Trickster Tale

In this episode, we bring you the Zulu folktale of Ram and the Terrified Tiger. When Tiger stumbles upon Ram for the very first time, fear grips him—so much so that he flees to Jackal for advice. But greed and cunning soon lead Tiger and Jackal back to Ram’s kraal, where quick thinking and a crying child turn the tables. What follows is a hilarious and timeless lesson in courage, wit, and misplaced fear.
