This Tibetan folk tale tells us about the time when all the animals, including men, lived together, and how a wisdom’s pill granted by God or Buddha changed everything. It tells us about how man became intelligent, but aggressive; why dogs are men's best friend; why rabbits have cleft lips; why Demong, a Tibetan bear has short intestines. It is one of those old Tibetan folk tales, which has not seen the light of publications. The book is bilingual, in Tibetan and English, with color illustrations.
