The stories of Panchtantra are very old. They were originally written in Sanskrit. They are a collection of short stories which are not only interesting to read, but also the best guide to instil moral values among children. Every story imparts a moral value. That is why they are read with great interest by readers of all age groups.The word Panchtantra is a combination of two words: 'pancha' means 'five' and 'tantra' means 'practice' or principles of conduct. So, Panchtantra depicts nitishastra (wise conduct of life) through stories mainly of animals which children love to read.We are presenting a collection of interesting tales from Panchtantra with colourful illustrations. We hope our young readers would enjoy reading these stories.
