Jackal and the drum

Once upon a time, a Jackal was roaming in the forest in search of food when he heard a large boom sound. He was terrified, thinking his life was in danger and was about to run away when he decided to investigate the strange noise. As he was coming nearer to the noise, he saw a large drum near a tree! The tree branches nearby were hitting on the drum due to strong winds. The branches hitting the drum made a boom! boom! sound. After watching the drum for a while, the jackal realized the strange animal was dead as it was not moving. He realized it was silent when the branch didn’t hit it. He decided to move more closer to the drum. Then he started to go around the strange animal and smell it and bit on it. The drum’s cover tore open and the jackal entered it thinking he will find meat in it, but it was empty. He started laughing at himself for fearing the sound as it belonged to something dead and hollow.
