The Elephant Who Saved the Tortoise
Tortoise loved to nap under a mango tree. One day, while dozing, a great storm came. The wind tossed the branches until one heavy limb trapped Tortoise beneath it.
He cried for help, but no one heard—except Elephant, who was passing by.
“I’ll lift it,” said Elephant, but the branch was stuck deep in the mud. So, Elephant used his tusks to dig, his feet to stomp, and his trunk to lift.
Finally, the branch broke free, and Tortoise was saved.
From that day, Tortoise always told the young animals: “It is not only wit that counts, but kindness and strength too.”
