Monkey And The Elephant Friends

Elephant and Monkey were the best of friends. Where one went, the other followed. One sunny day, they spotted something shimmering in the tall jungle grass.

"Look! Treasure!" Elephant trumpeted, lifting a giant foot to stomp toward the glow.

"Wait!" Monkey cried, hopping in front of him. "My teacher told me: 'All that glitters is not gold.' We should check it first."

Elephant picked up a heavy rock with his trunk and—Heeave-ho!—tossed it right onto the shiny spot.

CRASH! The ground gave way, and the rock tumbled into a deep, dark pit. It was a trap hidden under branches and foil!

"Yikes!" Monkey gasped. "That was a trick to catch an elephant!"

They both high-tailed it back to the safety of the trees. Elephant let out a long sigh of relief. "You saved my skin today, Monkey. Thank you for being so smart."

Monkey grinned and gave Elephant’s trunk a big high-five. "Don’t mention it," he said. "That’s what friends are for!"
