The Little Elephant That Wanted to Fly
The little elephant was very strong, but it felt clumsy and had always dreamed of learning how to fly. That sounded impossible!
So, the little elephant decided to ask the birds for the secret of flying.
In the forest, the birds’ songs attracted the little elephant, and it asked them, “Can you tell me how to fly?”
The birds thought the elephant’s question was amusing and shared their thoughts: “First, you need a pair of wings that can flap.”
The little elephant flapped its ears. “My ears are big enough. Can they work as wings?”
The birds laughed. “Of course not! You need real wings!”
The little elephant was very disappointed and said, “Then I guess I’ll never be able to fly. I’ll never have real wings!”
An eagle in the sky overheard the conversation and asked, “Why do you think you absolutely need wings?”
The little elephant asked the eagle, “How can you fly in the sky without wings?”
The eagle replied seriously, “I’ve flown through the skies and seen many things that don’t have wings.”
The little elephant couldn’t wait to ask, “Really? Can things without wings really fly?”
The eagle nodded. “Yes, I’ve seen airplanes, hot air balloons, paragliders… You must understand that there are always more solutions than there are difficulties.”
Suddenly, the little elephant understood. It made a big parachute, and on a windy day, it ran down a hill. With the help of the wind, the little elephant slowly floated into the sky, greeting many birds and playing hide-and-seek in the clouds.
The little elephant’s dream finally came true, and it became a flying elephant!
Guess what the flying elephant did next? Using the parachute, it became a “fly delivery” courier. With its great strength and flying skills, it could carry many things at once, making it the perfect delivery service!
