Ellie the Elephant and the Broken Bridge
In the heart of the green jungle, where parrots chattered and monkeys played tag among the trees, there lived a thoughtful young elephant named Ellie. Ellie wasn’t the biggest or the fastest, but she had one thing no one else did—a heart full of empathy.
One day, as the sun painted golden rays over the forest, a mighty storm swept through. When the rain stopped, the animals found that the only bridge to the watering hole was washed away.
The tall giraffe tried to jump across—it was too wide. The clever monkey swung on vines but couldn't carry others. Panic spread like wildfire.
Ellie quietly watched. Then she stepped forward, not with strength, but with an idea.
She lay down across the broken tree trunk and said, “Climb over my back—I'll help you cross.” One by one, the forest animals used her as a bridge. Even the grumpy old crocodile offered a smile.
By sundown, all had safely reached the watering hole. The animals cheered, not for the strongest, not for the fastest—but for Ellie, whose kindness saved the day.
🦉 Moral of the story: True strength lies in compassion, not size.
