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!
Good advice
hurts those who do wrong things.
