4. A lone elephant wandered in the forest looking for
friends.He met a monkey and asked,❝Will you be my friend?❞❝You are
too big and cannot swing on trees as I do.So i cannot be your
friend❞said the monkey. The elephant then met 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.
The elephant asked a fox, and he got the same reply, that
he was too big. The next day all the animals 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 other weak animals. He went to the tiger and said ❝Please sir,
leave my friends alone❞. The tiger did not listen.
5. Seeing no other way, to solve the problem the elephant
kicked the tiger and scared it away.Elephant then went back to the
other animals and told them what happened.After listening to the
elephant, the animals agreed together and said ❝You are just the right
size to be our friend❞.
