Elephant And The Dog

One sunny day, a little dog saw a huge elephant walking by.

"Wow!" barked the dog, looking way, way up. "You are so big! How did you get so big? What kind of giant food are you eating? I wish I could be big like you!"

The elephant smiled a big, gentle smile and chuckled softly.

"That's a funny question, little friend," the elephant trumpeted kindly. "I'm big because that's just how I was made. God made me to be an elephant, and elephants are supposed to be big! You are made to be a dog, and dogs are supposed to be small and speedy."

The dog tilted his head and then wagged his tail.

"Oh, I get it!" said the dog, giving a happy grin. "So, it doesn't matter how big or small we are. What matters is being the best me I can be!"

The elephant nodded. "Exactly right!"

The Moral of the Story Being different is great! We are all special just the way we are, big or small.
