The Revengeful Elephant Elephant

          It was a hot summer day. An elephant-driver was passing through a market place.

He bought a cocoanut from a shop. He was very hungry and thirsty. So he could not wait for going home and cutting the cocoanut. He had not with him any implement wherewith to do it. So lie hit the cocoanut on the elephant’s head and ate the kernel.

          The elephant felt much pain. He bore it all quietly. Rut he could not forget cruel deed of his master.

          The next day the driver was again out on an elephant ride. He was passing through the same market place. The elephant stopped beside the shop of the cocoanut-seller and flicked up a cocoanut with his trunk. All on a sudden the elephant hit the cocoanut right on the head of the driver by way of revenge. As a result the driver died then and there.

Moral: Tit for tat.
