Once there lived a clever, strong tiger in a forest. He always made fun of other animals. He especially mocked the elephant by calling him slow and clumsy. One day, all the animals were holding a meeting in a cave near a mountain. Suddenly, there was a storm and a huge tree fell in front of the cave, blocking its entrance. Everyone expected that the strong, clever tiger would easily help them to get out. But unfortunately, the tiger could not move the huge tree. Finally, a bumblebee escaped through a tiny gap between the rocks. She flew off in search of the elephant, who had not come for the meeting because he was feeling sad. When the elephant heard of the problem, he immediately came to help. He moved the tree away from the entrance of the cave, setting the animals free. The animals congratulated both the elephant and the bumblebee. That day, the tiger learnt his lesson, and never mocked any animal again.
