The Elephant And Friends

Illustrated by M.Thaniga
A lone elephant searches 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 he 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 he


could be his 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.

He then went back to the others and told them


what happened. On hearing how the elephant
saved their lives, the animals agreed, “You are
just the right size to be our friend”.

Moral
Friends come in all shapes and sizes
