The Elephant And The Ant

Once upon a time there lived a huge elephant in a jungle. Because he was so much bigger than all the other animals he always troubled them. In the same jungle there lived a family of ants. They were a hard-working family who always kept themselves.

In the day they would go to gather food. One day as they were going the big mean elephant threw water on them. One ant shouted at the elephant, “What’s the matter with you? Why do you keep troubling others?” Arrogant elephant replied, “Oh shut up! You tiny ant. One more word out of you and I will walk all over you and kill you. The little ant had no choice. It kept quiet and went on its way.

“You shouldn't pick a fight with the elephant. He is very ill tempered and very very strong. He could crush you”, said the other ant. Something needs to be done about it wondered the brave ant.

The next day when the ants were going to work, the brave tiny ant decided to teach the elephant a lesson. She quietly climbed on to the elephant and made its way to the elephant's trunk and entered it. Once inside she started biting the elephant. The elephant started screaming in agony, “Oh now it hurts”. 

The elephant tried everything but it couldn't get the ant to stop biting him or come out of its trunk. Such a big elephant became useless in front of the tiny ant. He pleaded to the tiny ant, “Please stop ah stop it now”.  The ant replied, “Well I hope now you know how others feel when you hurt them”. “Yes I do”, replied the elephant. So the ant stopped biting the elephant and came out of its trunk. The elephant realised his mistake and apologised to the ant, “I am sorry I have understood how bad I made others feel I promise I will never ever do it again”.

Morale: Respect everyone’s position in life. No one is superior to other.
