Story: Elephant, Goat and Bird

 An elephant and a goat lived in a forest. Both were very good friends. Every day they used to look for food together and eat together. One day they went far away from the forest in search of food. There they saw a pond. There was a plum tree on the bank of that pond.

The elephant and the goat were very happy to see the plum tree. Both of them went near the plum tree, then the elephant shook the plum tree vigorously with its trunk and a lot of ripe plums started falling on the ground. The goat quickly started collecting the fallen plums.

Coincidentally, there was a bird's nest on the same plum tree, in which a baby bird was sleeping and the bird had gone somewhere in search of grains. Due to the strong shaking of the plum tree, the baby bird fell out of the nest into the pond and started drowning.

Seeing the baby bird drowning, the goat jumped into the pond to save it, but the goat did not know how to swim. Because of this, she also started drowning in the pond.

Seeing the goat drowning, the elephant also jumped into the pond and saved both the baby bird and the goat from drowning.

Meanwhile the bird also reached there and was very happy to see her child safe and sound. She asked the elephant and the goat to live near this pond and plum tree. Since then the elephant and the goat also started living under that plum tree with the bird.

In a few days the baby bird grew up. The bird used to roam around the jungle with its baby and used to inform the elephant and the goat about the trees in the jungle which had fruits. In this way the elephant, the goat and the bird used to live happily and eat and drink.
