The Elephants and the Mice
Mice ask elephants to avoid trampling their homes, and later rescue them from the hunters' trap.
Once upon a time, in a village next to a bright lake, there was a group of happy mice. Every day, a group of big elephants came to the lake to drink and wash. When the elephants walked through the village, their big feet would sometimes break the homes of the small mice, causing a lot of damage.
One day, the smart leader of the mice decided to talk to the leader of the elephants about the problem. He asked the elephants to change their path so they wouldn't step on the mice's homes, and he promised to help the elephants if they ever needed it in the future. The elephant leader and his friends thought it was funny that such small animals could help them, but they agreed to change their path to be kind to the mice.
But soon, trouble came. The elephants got caught in a trap set by hunters while walking through the village. One elephant managed to get away and quickly went to ask the mouse leader for help.
The mouse leader quickly gathered all the mice, and they rushed to help the elephants. They worked hard, biting through the ropes of the trap with their sharp teeth. It was a tough job, but they didn't give up until all the elephants were free.
The leader of the elephants and his group were very surprised and thankful for the help they received from the small mice. They thanked the mouse leader for saving them.
