NAME:

AN ELEPHANT LOOKING FOR FRIENDS

IN THE JUNGLE AN ELEPHANT LIVED OUT EVERY DAY IN SEARCH OF A FRIEND TO TALK TO.

ONE MORNING HE FOUND THE LION AND ASKED:

– DO YOU WANT TO BE MY FRIEND?

AND THE LION ANSWERED:

– YOU'RE VERY SLOW AND CAN'T RUN WITH ME. THE MOST YOU CAN DO IS HUNTING A MOUSE. ALSO, WHAT WOULD THE ANIMALS SAY WHEN SEEING THE KING OF THE JUNGLE ACCOMPANIED WITH AN ELEPHANT?

THE ELEPHANT, VERY SAD, WALKED ON. SUDDENLY HE SAW A MONKEY HANGING FROM A BRANCH, LEAPING FROM TREE TO TREE.

– GOOD MORNING YOU MONKEY! DO YOU WANT TO BE MY FRIEND?

– HOW COULD I BE YOUR FRIEND? YOU CANNOT HANGING ON TREES OR JUMPING AS I DO! - REPLICATED THE MONKEY.

WITH GREAT SADNESS THE ELEPHANT WAS ASKED: “WHY AM I SO BIG AND SLOW? NO ONE WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND…”.

FOLLOWED HIS WAY UNTIL SUDDENLY, HE HEARD SOME SCREAMS.

- HELP! HELP-ME! PLEASE, LORD, DON'T TREAD ON ME!

THE FEARED ELEPHANT LOOKED EVERYWHERE, BUT COULDN'T SEE ANYONE.

WHAT WAS HIS SURPRISE TO SEE, TAKEN UNDER HIS PAW, AN ANT WATCHING HIM AND BEGGING:

-PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING TO ME!

THE ELEPHANT, SEEING THE ANT SO FEARED, WAS PICKED UP, LIFTED IT WITH HIS TRUNK AND LEFT IT ON A BRANCH.

THE LITTLE ANT, VERY GLAD, TOLD HIM:

– HOW COOL IT WOULD BE TO HAVE A FRIEND LIKE YOU! YOU ARE SO STRONG… I DON'T THINK NO ONE IS AFRAID BEING BY YOUR SIDE.

THE ELEPHANT WAS VERY HAPPY. FINALLY HE HAD FOUND SOMEONE WHO ACCEPTED HIM AS HE WAS.

AN ELEPHANT LOOKING FOR FRIENDS. TRANSLATION ILTON L. SCHMITZ. SÃO PAULO: PAULINA EDITIONS, 1989.
