The Elephant and his friends I Story by Keshav,11,Navi Mumbai
Keshav Lodha writes about an elephant, feeling lonely after being separated from his herd, searched for a friend, but every animal turned him away for being too big. The next day, he saw them all playing together and decided to ask again; however, this time, they welcomed him.
The Elephant and his friends
There lived an elephant in a herd. Suddenly, one of the elephants got separated. Now, he met with a bird and asked, “Can you be my friend?”
A bird replied, “No, because you are so big.”
He went away, met with the frog and asked, “Can you be my friend?”
“No, you can’t jump like me and enter the water.”
Now, he met with Fox, “Can you be my friend?”
“No, you are so big.”
He moved forward and met with the rabbit. “Can you be my friend?”
“No, you cannot fit in my burrow because you are huge.”
He got sad because everyone said no. The next day, the elephant saw all the animals playing together, and then again, he thought, now let’s go again and ask. He approached them, asked if he could play with them, and became friends with all of them. All of them said yes, and they all started playing together.
Moral: Friends can be of any shape and size. Anyone can become friends.
