The butterfly boasted to the elephant about her beauty and ability to fly, claiming she was superior to the elephant who was ugly and heavy. When a strong wind blew, the butterfly lost her balance and cried for help while the elephant remained grounded, realizing that pride can lead to a fall.

1. The Proud Butterfly
Once, a beautiful, shiny and colorful butterfly was flitting from one flower to another. She saw a baby
elephant coming down the path. She flew to him and sat on his ear. The elephant asked, "Who are you?
Where are you going?"
The butterfly proudly replied, "I am the most beautiful of all the butterflies. You are ugly and fat. Your body
is heavy while I am delicate and light. People are jealous of my colorful wings. I can fly anywhere with
these wings."

2. The elephant calmly said, "I am glad to meet you."
The butterfly went on, "There is no comparison between us. You have four legs but I have
six. You have a trunk and I have something like that too but I use it to suck nectar from the
flowers. You cannot do that." Just then a strong wind blew and the butterfly could not keep
her balance. She cried for help as she was flown away in the wind. But the elephant stood
firmly on ground and thought, "I can see how pride has a fall."
