THE ELEPHANT AND THE HELPFUL MICE MORAL STORY

In the heart of the forest, there was a ruined palace. The king had used it as a summer resort a long time back.




   Now that the king had died, there were no visitors and the palace had turned into ruins. This ruined leftover had become the shelter for a colony of mice. Once, a herd of elephants happened to cross that way. With loud trumpeting, they crumpled everything they set foot on.

When they were about to crush the ruins, the chief mouse ran to the master elephant and begged, "Hey mighty elephant, we are living in these ruins for generations and generations. All our children and their children would turn homeless if your mighty feet lands on these ruins.

Be kind enough to spare our lives and our homes." The kind-hearted elephant ordered its fellow elephants not to disturb the ruins and left the place without damaging it.





         Days went by. Season changed. Summer came. The mice went through the entire forest in search of food. As they were approaching an opening in the forest, they heard loud trumpeting noise. The chief mouse thought, "This is the sound of the master elephant who spared our lives.

Let me go and see." When the mouse came to the place, it found the master elephant and some more elephants tied to heavy rigs with thick ropes. The mouse understood that these elephants have been captured by men for their lumbering work. "Don't panic master elephant," said the mouse and signalled to its fellow mice. All at once, the mice gnawed at the ropes and soon the elephants were set free. Now, it was the turn of the elephant to thank the mice.

Pintu watched with wonder at the ease with which the lumberjacks split large logs. He was observing their work. When a lumberjack had inserted a wedge to split a log, the bell rang to indicate their lunchtime. The lumberjacks set aside their work and went away for their lunch.         Pintu ran to the log with the wedge stuck deep inside. His curiosity increased. He left his hand inside the split end and tried to pull the log apart. Nothing happened. So Pintu decided to pull out the wedge and see what happened. In his anxiety, Pintu did not notice that he was sitting across the log and that his tail was wagering in the split of the log.  The moment Pintu pulled out ...
