The Tailor and The Elephant
There was a bad tailor in a village
long ago. He used to play pranks with people. In that village there was a very
good elephant. It loved to take bath in cold water. Off and on it would place
the trunk on the person who came nearer and bless him.
The Mahout used to take the elephant
daily to its bath. On the way was the tailor’s shop. One day the tailor offered
a banana fruit to the elephant. From that day, the elephant used to bless the
tailor daily. Then the tailor thought of playing tricks with the elephant. The
next day when the elephant blessed him, he took the needle he was stitching and
drove it inside the trunk of the elephant.
The elephant was very angry. But it
kept quiet. From that day, the elephant stop blessing the tailor. After a few
more days, the tailor forgot the entire thing. It was Deepavali. On Deepavali
days, all people get new clothes stitched. So the tailor’s shop was full of
clothes.
The elephant that day while returning from its bath in the tank,
stored lot of muddy water in its trunk. When it came near the tailors shop, it
introduced its trunk inside the shop and poured all the muddy water inside. All
the new clothes were spoiled. The villagers got very angry with the tailor for
spoiling all their clothes and beat him. Thus the elephant punished the
tailor.
