Elephant and friend

One day, a lonely elephant walked into a strange forest. She was looking for friends.

First, she saw a monkey swinging from a tree. The elephant asked, "Will you be my friend?" The monkey replied, "You are too big. You cannot swing from trees like me!" The elephant felt a bit sad, but she continued walking.

Next, she met a rabbit. She asked him, "Will you be my friend?" The rabbit looked at her and said, "You are too big to fit into my house. We cannot play together."

The elephant then met a frog. "Will you be my friend?" she asked. The frog laughed. "You are too heavy. You cannot leap high into the air like I do."

The elephant was very upset. She thought that because she was different, no one wanted to be her friend.

The next day, the elephant saw all the animals running away in fear. She stopped a deer and asked, "What is happening?" The deer cried, "There is a hungry tiger in the forest! He is trying to catch us all!"

The elephant wanted to protect her new acquaintances. She walked up to the tiger and said, "Please, Mr. Tiger, do not eat these poor animals." The tiger roared, "Mind your own business!"

The elephant had no choice. She used her great strength and gave the tiger a powerful kick. The tiger was terrified and ran away as fast as he could.

All the other animals came out from their hiding places. They realized how brave and kind the elephant was. "You are just the right size to be our friend!" they shouted together.

The Moral of the Story

"Everyone has their own strengths. Appreciate and be grateful to have them as your friend."
