One day, an elephant was very happy. He invited all the animals and the birds of the jungle to a party. Everyone wanted to dress well. The pigeon, who delivered the invitation to the party on behalf of the elephant, had no time to dress. All the other animals were nicely dressed up. When the pigeon saw this, he felt very bad. He said to the animals, sadly, “I have no new dress, so I will come in my old dress itself.” The elephant felt sorry for the pigeon and thought of cheering him up. All the animals agreed, and said, “Do not worry, dear friend; we will arrange something for you.” Then all the animals, collectively, gifted him a sparkling collar. The pigeon was very grateful and happy. Since that day, all pigeons wear sparkling blue-purple collars.
