Yes no. Lets continue
All the ants were shocked; seeing them like
that, the elephant started laughing.
“What do you think you are doing?” shouted a
tiny ant angrily. “We have never harmed you,
then why did you do this to us? Is it fun for
you to bully others?”
“Oh, be quiet, you tiny ant!” said the
elephant, “Who do you think you are to talk
back to me like that? One more word, and I’ll
walk over all of you in no time”.
The little ant had no choice but to stay quiet.
All of them left for their home quietly.
After coming home, all the family members
told the tiny ant not to pick a fight with the
elephant and let the matter slide.
What did the ants family members told to the
tiny ant?

elephant? To the elephant

Lets find out. To take revenge
Seeing the elephant sound asleep, the tiny
ant thought, “Enough of your bullying,
elephant! Now see what I do.:
Thinking this, the ant entered the elephant’s
trunk and started biting it, and he bit it with
all his force.
“Ouch! Ouch! That hurts!” shrieked the
elephant and woke up.
“What is this pain? What is biting me?”
shouted the elephant restlessly.
The elephant tried everything but could not
do anything to get the ant out of his trunk.
Such a huge elephant could do nothing to the
tiny ant.
“Please stop! I cannot bear this pain anymore.
Please stop biting me”, pleaded the elephant.
The ant stopped biting him and said, “Well, I
guess now you know how others feel when
you hurt and bully them?”
“Yes. I know,” cried the elephant. “I was
unaware of the pain I caused them, but now I
know. Please forgive me and come out of my
trunk.”
“I will come out but only on one condition”,
said the tiny ant. “Promise me that you will
never bully or make fun of others again.”
“I won’t, I promise”, said the elephant.
As soon as the ant heard this, he slid out of
the elephant’s trunk.
The elephant heaved a huge sigh of relief.

“I am very sorry,” apologized the elephant. “I

had no idea how bad I have made others feel
and how much I have troubled them. Now
that I know, I promise never to be the same
again.”
From that day onwards, the mighty elephant
never troubled anyone again. He became
friends with all the animals in the jungle and
lived peacefully.
The End!
Did you understand the story?
What do you think the moral of the story is? Yes ma’am

Never underestimate anyone and

don’t bully others based on their
Verygood! appearance and capabilities

The “Elephant and The Ant” is a classic

bedtime story written centuries ago and
passed down from generation to generation.
This story was wrote by Priyadarshika on
September 12, 2022, there is limited
information available within this author the
reason why is that one of the many folktales
and fables that have been passed down and
adapted by different cultures, which
sometimes leads to multiple versions and
authorship claims. It is believed to be inspired
by one of Aesop’s fables: “The Dove and The
Ant” story.
Priyadarshika's story "The Elephant and the
Ant" aims to teach children valuable lessons
about humility, empathy, courage,
cooperation, and the importance of change.
Priyadarshika encourages children to reflect
on their actions and strive for positive,
respectful relationships with others.

In the present many people face injustices but

are afraid to speak up due to fear of
retaliation or feeling powerless just like the
other animal in the jungle they remain quite
and they let go of the bad things the elephant
do but their some people who are brave to
speak and fight just like the tiny ant.
Like the elephant, other people use their size,
strength, or position to dominate and
intimidate others. They may not consider or
understand the feelings and experiences of
those they mistreat, leading to hurtful
actions.
