United We Stand

Once there lived three friends Max the Monkey,Foxy the fox and Earl the elephant
in a dense jungle.

Max,Foxy and Earl always did things together and were always helpful to
each other.

Foxy was the oldest and the wisest amongst the three so Max and Earl always
took advice from Foxy.

One day Earl the elephant and Max the monkey had an argument about who the
most superior amongst them was.

Earl said

"I'am huge and I can lift you with my trunk and throw you to the next jungle."

Max said

"Yes Earl,you are huge,but I am tiny and I can run inside spaces you can't even
enter and escape from all the wild animals."

Earl and Max continued arguing when Foxy came.

They decided to ask Foxy.

Earl asked

"Foxy you are old and wise,so you can tell us who is superior,me or Max?"

Foxy said

"Well then I have to give you both a task to complete.There is a big peaches
tree on the other island of the jungle.Both of you should cross the river and get the peaches."

He also said

"Whoever arrives first with the peaches is the winner and I will crown them Superior."

Earl and Max took the challenge and were all set to go.

Both of them walked to the banks of the river and Earl the elephant started to
cross it.

Max asked

"Earl can you help me to cross the river? I don't know to swim."

Earl agreed and carried Max on his back and both of them crossed the river.
They walked to the peaches tree and Earl could not reach the fruits with his trunk.

Max started climbing the branches fast and started plucking the fruits.

He dropped them one by one and Earl picked them up.

Onthe way back Earl carried Max safely across the river and walked to Foxy.

Both of them were vey tired and hungry.All the three animals relished the fruits
and Earl and Max waited for Foxy's verdict.

Foxy's stomach was full and he rested for a while and said

"Both of you depended on each other to get the fruits."

"Earl could cross the river because he was big.Max could climb the tree."
"So if you didn't help each other,we would not have relished the fruits now."
He concluded that

"Each of you is superior in your own way,so no one is better than the other."

"Also both of you need each others favour to live successfully and happily."

"So don't let ego get in between your friendship."

Max and Earl understood what Foxy meant and said

"We now know that we are powerful in our own ways,so we won't look down
on each other from now. But foxy you are intelligent. That's the reason why you
relished the fruits that we brought without any hard work."

Foxy smiled and said

"Yes my friends,all of us are superior in our own ways."
