Milo, The Swimmer

Milo the tiger was on the riverside, staring at the water.

“Hey, Milo, what’s up?” a fish from the water jumped and asked Milo.

“I am wondering if I can swim like you,” Milo said.

“Why not? You can swim. Just jump into the water and paddle the water with your hands in the water,” said the fish.

Milo jumped into the water.

“Hey, I am drowning. Somebody please help,” Milo cried loudly.

An elephant on the riverside, who was there to drink water from the river, saw the plight of Milo and offered its help. The kind elephant extended his long trunk for Milo to grab the trunk. The elephant slowly pulled the tiger out of the water.

“Thank you for helping me out, bro. I would have drowned without you,” Milo said gratefully.

“Before jumping into anything, think twice,” advised the elephant.

“You are right. I thought swimming was an easy task. Next time, I will think twice before jumping into anything,” Milo said.
