Introducing The tale of ‘The Four Friends’ Or ‘The Chapter of the Ringdove’ from Kalila wa dimna.

‘Kalila and Dimna: Ancient Fables for Troubled Times’ focuses on one specific fable from the book: the ‘Tale of the Four Friends’ or ‘The Chapter of the Ringdove’ باب الحمامة المطوقة in Arabic. Like all the chapters of the book it begins with a brief dialogue between the king and his counsellor. The king wishes to hear a fable about true friendship; the tale his counsellor recounts is the story of the crow, mouse, tortoise, and deer – characters who appear, on the surface at least, too different to get along. In the chapter, the four animals overcome difficulties, represented in the story by a hunter, by working together, exemplifying the moral of the fable that true friendships are strengthened by adversity. Despite their apparent differences, they recognise the good in each other and find common ground and companionship.

Their encounters take place in a landscape of persecution and fear, in which the animals move from place to place to find safety. Meetings with others are, at first at least, frequently the cause of anxiety and mistrust, and often invoke a desire to flee – emotions which are overcome through exchange of words. Storytelling lies at the heart of the animals’ ability to see beyond their differences. As they recount their own personal histories and the journeys that have brought them together, they create a sense of community; a ‘home’ in which they finally find peace.

The journeys undertaken by the friends are not only physical, i.e., from one place to another, but symbolic: from pessimism to acceptance of help; from ignorance to wisdom; from exile to companionship; and from fear and persecution to safety and tranquillity.

The ‘Tale of the Four Friends’ is a story about looking beyond perceived differences, working together to overcome adversity, and finding peace in community, it also provides the perfect vehicle to explore issues of identity, community, migration, and intercultural relations – themes that are highly relevant in contemporary UK society and above all to a multicultural/lingual city like London. Dr. Rachel Scott.

Learn more about the ancient fables Kalila wa Dimna

‘Kalila wa-Dimna (Kalila and Dimna) is a widely circulated collection of Oriental fables of Indian origin, composed in Sanskrit possibly as early as the third century BC. The fables were translated into Arabic in the eighth century by the Persian Ibn al-Muqaffa', a highly educated writer and influential courtier. To this day, al-Muqaffa's translation is considered an unsurpassed masterpiece of Arabic artistic prose, and numerous translations into European and Oriental languages dating from the 10th to the 14th centuries derive from his version. Influences of al-Muqaffa's translation also are apparent in such important Western literary works as La Fontaine's Fables and Goethe's Reinecke Fuchs. Kalila wa-Dimna is a kind of mirror for princes. Questions of social life and of princely wisdom are explained on the basis of stories taken from the animal kingdom’.
