On a winter night, all the animals of the jungle were shivering with cold. By midnight, the temperature dipped below 0°C and many animals fell seriously ill. Dr. Dove was watching all these animals. The next morning, a dog complained, “I could hear the sound of my teeth chattering, as I shivered in the night!” “Though we are big, we too felt very cold,” said an elephant. “I have an idea,” said Dr. Dove, “Let us all move into a nearby cave and spend our winter nights there.” The animals agreed. It was night again. All the animals were inside the cave, but still they were shivering. They asked Dr. Dove for a solution. Dr. Dove asked them to collect dry twigs, make a small heap and set it on fire at the mouth of the cave. After lighting the fire, the cave became warm and all the animals slept comfortably. They made it a daily routine and enjoyed the winters. Team effort can solve big problems.
