An elephant walks alone through the forest,
looking for company. He immediately saw a monkey and asked, “Can we be friends, monkey?”. The monkey quickly replied, “You are big and can't swing on trees like me, so I can't be your friend.” Because he was sad, the elephant continued to look for and found a rabbit. He asked him, “Can we be friends, bunny?”. The rabbit looked at the elephant and replied, “You are too big to fit into my burrow. You can't be my friend.” The elephant continued his journey until he met a frog. He asked, “Will you be my friend, frog?”. The frog answered, “You are too big and heavy; You can't jump like me. I'm sorry, but you can't be my friend.” The elephant kept asking questions to the animals he met on his journey but always got the same answer. The next day, the elephant saw all the forest animals running away in fear. He stopped a bear to ask what was happening and was told that the tiger was attacking all the small animals. The elephant wanted to save the other animals, so he came to the tiger and said, “Please, sir, leave my friends alone. Don't eat it.” The tiger didn't listen. He just told the elephant to mind its own business. Having no other choice, the elephant kicked the tiger and scared it away. After hearing this brave story, other animals finally wanted to befriend him. They said, “You're the right size to be our friend.”
