The fables, which are narrated by two jackals named Kalilah and Damnah, contain moral lessons and advice on politics, governance, and human behavior. The stories are presented in a frame narrative, where the wise king Dabschelim seeks the advice of his vizier on how to rule his kingdom. The vizier then tells him a series of fables that illustrate the principles of good governance and leadership.
