The Missing Football

The elephant got a football. It was new football, black and white. The elephant wanted to show the world that it was an expert in playing football. So he started fiddling with it.

“It’s a nice football you have with you. May I ask you a question? Do you know how to play with a football?” asked the cat.

Of course, Yes. I very well know how to play football. I am a hardcore fan of football. You know, it is an exciting game. I have seen people playing football. It’s easy to play football. I have seen people running around the ball and kicking it. But I can play it alone. If you don’t believe me, see it yourself when I play with it,” said the elephant.

The elephant put the football on the ground and kicked it hard. The elephant kick sent the football high above the clouds and disappeared.

The elephant looked for his football everywhere but couldn’t find it.

“You kicked it hard, and you lost the football. Now, I know how well you play football,” said the cat laughing at the elephant.

The elephant had nothing to say but started crying about the missing football. The elephant regretted the boasting before the cat.
