Story | The Elephant And The Animals

The animals in Happy Valley were feeling sad. They were upset because some creatures were being unkind to others. The strong and kind Elephant was their leader, so the animals went to him and told him everything. The Elephant wanted to know which animals were behaving badly. So, he called all the animals for a meeting and told them to stop their bad habits. Being lazy, cruel, selfish, or jealous would ruin the happiness of the whole forest. All the gentle animals like the Dog, Camel, Sheep, Dove, Ant, and Bee listened carefully to the Elephant's words. They nodded in agreement. However, animals like the Tiger, Wolf, Snake, Wasp, Hornet, Fly, Grasshopper, and Ape became very angry with the Elephant's words. These animals were mean and cruel to the weaker animals. They complained and grumbled loudly. The Elephant made a loud noise to get their attention. Then he said, "I gave my advice to everyone here, but only some of you were happy to hear me!" He explained that those who agreed with his advice were the good animals, but the ones who were angry with his words were the real troublemakers!

Moral: Good advice hurts those who do wrong things.
