The
animals in Happy Valley were sad. They were all troubled that some creatures
were unkind to the others. The strong, kind Elephant was their leader, so the
animals ran to him and told him all.
The
Elephant wanted to know which animals were bad. So, he called the animals for a
meeting and told them to stop their bad habits. Being lazy, cruel, selfish or
jealous would spoil 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 cruel and mean to the
weaker animals. They grumbled and murmured loudly.
The
Elephant trumpeted for silence.
Then
he continued, “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!
