Elephant and friends
A lone elephant
wandered the forest looking for friends.
She came across a
monkey and asked,
“Will you be my
friend, monkey?” “You are too big and cannot swing on trees as I do.
So I cannot be your friend”, said the monkey.
The elephant them
came across a rabbit and asked him if she could be his friend.
“You are too big to fit inside my burrow. You
cannot be my friend”, replied the rabbit.
Then the elephant
met a frog and asked if she could be her friend. The frog said “You are too big
and heavy.
You cannot jump
like me. I am sorry, but you cannot be my friend”.
The elephant asked
a fox, and he got the same reply, that he was too big. The next day,
all the animals in the forest were running in
fear.
The elephant stopped a bear and asked what was
happening and was told that a tiger has been attacking all the animals.
The elephant
wanted to save the other weak animals and went to the tiger and said “Please
sir, leave my friends alone. Do not eat them”.
The tiger didn’t
listen and asked the elephant to mind her own business. Seeing no other way to
solve the problem,
the elephant kicked the tiger and scared it
away.
She then went back
to the others and told them what happened. On hearing how the elephant saved
their lives, the animals agreed in unison,
“You are just the
right size to be our friend”.
Moral
Friends come in
all shapes and sizes!
