Once upon a time.....in the Indian
jungle, lived a young elephant
whose playmate was a very large
hare. In spite of the difference in
size, they were great friends
and had fun playing strange guessing
games. One day, the hare said
to his chum:
''Which of us is bigger: you or
me? At that silly
question, the little elephant
nearly choked on his
banana.
''You must be joking! he
exclaimed. ''Why even
on tiptoe you're not as high as
my knee! But the
hare went on:
''That's what you think! Since
I say that I'm bigger
than you, we need a judge.
Don't you agree?''
Oh'' yes, said the a judge.
Don't you agree?'
Oh, yes, said the elephant in
surprise.
''Well let's go along to the
village and see what
the Humans have to say. They're
the cleverest of all
the animals and the best
judges! As they reached
the village they met some of
the villagers.
''Look at that young elephant!
Isn't he small?
folk remarked as the unusual
couple strolled by.
''Yes he is indeed! But he'll
soon grow up, said
others. Then somebody noticed
the hare. |
