The Elephant and the Mice

In a dense forest, near an ancient temple, 


there lay a small village of mice. 


The mice had lived peacefully for generations, scurrying through the temple ruins and gathering food. 


Their burrows were deep in the ground, safe from most dangers.



One year, a severe drought struck the region. The once-mighty river that ran through the forest dried up, leaving animals desperate for water. 


The elephants of the jungle, in search of a drinking source, found a large lake near the mice’s village.


Every day, a herd of massive elephants thundered through the area, heading towards the lake. 


Their heavy feet crushed many mouse burrows, and several mice lost their homes, while some even got injured.


Fearing for their safety, the mice held a meeting. 


The eldest and wisest among them, a gray mouse named Chatur, spoke, “If this continues, soon, none of us will survive! We must find a way to stop the elephants from passing through our village.”


After much discussion, they decided to approach the leader of the elephant herd, a magnificent tusker named Gajraj.


With great caution, Chatur and a few brave mice went to meet Gajraj. Standing before the towering elephant, Chatur respectfully said, “Oh, mighty Gajraj! We, the mice, live in this land, but your herd’s daily march has destroyed our homes. Many of our kind are injured. We request you to take another path to the lake.”


Gajraj laughed at the tiny creatures, amused by their request. “How can creatures as small as you help creatures as mighty as us?” he said.

Chatur bowed and replied wisely, “Great King, the world is unpredictable. Today, we are weak and seek your help. But who knows? One day, you may need ours.”


Though skeptical, Gajraj was a wise leader. He admired Chatur’s words and agreed. “Very well, little ones. I shall lead my herd another way.”


The mice cheered as their homes were saved. They lived peacefully once more, grateful for Gajraj’s kindness.

Months passed, and fate took an unexpected turn.


One day, hunters entered the jungle. They set giant traps near the lake, and soon, Gajraj and several elephants were caught in the strong nets. No matter how much they struggled, they couldn’t break free.


Realizing their danger, Gajraj thought of the wise little mice. He trumpeted loudly, hoping they would hear.


The mice, upon hearing the distress call, rushed to the lake. Seeing their giant friends trapped, Chatur called out, “Fear not, Gajraj! We shall help you.”


Hundreds of mice swarmed the nets, their sharp teeth gnawing tirelessly through the ropes. Bit by bit, they cut the elephants free. Within minutes, Gajraj and his herd were free once again.


Overwhelmed with gratitude, Gajraj lowered his head to the tiny mice. “I laughed at your words, Chatur, but today, I understand your wisdom. Never underestimate the power of the small.”


From that day forward, the elephants and the mice became the best of friends, living in harmony.

Moral of the Story:
Even the smallest friend can be a great help in times of need. Never underestimate anyone!
