Once, there lived two elves, Scarlet and Scoop. Scarlet was big and beautiful while Scoop was small and thin. Scarlet always made fun of Scoop. Scoop was hurt, but she kept quiet because she was wiser than Scarlet. One morning, Scarlet went to the forest to gather fruits with some elves. She slipped and fell into a big hole. The other elves tried to pull Scarlet out of the hole, but she was too heavy. Then, they decided to call the wise Scoop. Scoop rushed to help Scarlet. She thought for a while and said, “Let’s roll down rocks in one corner of the hole. When the rocks reach the top, Scarlet can climb them and come up.” Thus, Scarlet was rescued by Scoop. Scarlet hugged Scoop and apologised for all the times she had teased her. From that day onwards, Scarlet never teased or made fun of anyone.
