Elephant and his friends
One day, 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 then came across a rabbit and asked him if she could be his friend
"You are too big to fit inside my burtow. You cannot be my friend", replied the rabbit.
Then the clophant met a frog and asked if she could be her friend. The frog sad
"You are too big and heavy. You cannot jump like me. I am sorry, but you cannot be my
friend"
The elephant asked all the animals she met and she got the same reply, that she 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
