An enormous elephant lived in a forest under a fig tree. One day, a little robin made her nest on the tree. Every day, the robin sang sweet songs and flew around the tree. Seeing her, the elephant felt jealous that he could not sing or fly. The robin noticed this and consoled the elephant, “My friend, don’t feel bad. God has made you unique, too. You are so big and powerful.” However, the elephant did not listen and decided to sing and fly. So, the next day, the elephant attempted to climb up the tree and fly. However, he couldn’t hold on and fell down. Then, the stubborn elephant tried to sing. But of course, he couldn’t sing! Whatever noises came out were very funny and the other animals started making fun of him. Embarrassed at this, the elephant finally realised what a fool he was and decided to value what he had.
