One day an elephant wandered into a forest in
search of friends. He saw a monkey on a tree. “Will you be my
friend?” asked the elephant. Replied the monkey, “You are too big. You can
not swing from trees like me.” Next, the elephant met a rabbit. He asked
him to be his friends. But the rabbit said, “You are too big to play in my
burrow!” Then the elephant met a frog.
“Will you be my friend? He asked.
“How can I?” asked the frog.
“You are too big to leap about like
me.”
The elephant was upset. He met a
fox next.
“Will you be my friend?” he asked
the fox.
The fox said, “Sorry, sir, you are
too big.”
The next day, the elephant saw all
the animals in the forest running for their lives. The elephant asked them
what the matter was. The bear replied, “There is a tiger in the forest.
He’s trying to gobble us all up!” The animals all ran away to
hide. The elephant wondered what he could do to solve everyone in the
forest. Meanwhile, the tiger kept eating up whoever he could
find. The elephant walked up to the tiger and said, “Please, Mr. Tiger, do
not eat up these poor animals.”
“Mind your own business!” growled
the tiger.
The elephant has a no choice but to
give the tiger a hefty kick. The frightened tiger ran for his
life. The elephant ambled back into the forest to announce the good news
to everyone. All the animals thanked the elephant. They said, “You
are just the right size to be our friend.”
