Tailor And The Elephant : Moral Stories for Kids

Once upon a time there lived an elephant in a village. There lived a tailor in that village too. They became friends. The elephant used to a river for a bath. After drinking water and taking a bath it would pass by a tailor’s shop and the tailor would give it something to eat.

One day the tailor was in angry mood due to quarrel with his one of the customer. The elephant came as usual to give thanks to the tailor. Instead of giving any thing to eat, he pricked the elephant’s trunk with his needle. The elephant felt agonized with pain. He made up his mind to teach a tailor a lesson.

He went to the river, had his bath and then filled up its trunk with muddy water. He stopped at the tailor’s shop and throw in all the muddy water on the garments in the shop. The clothes were spoiled with mud. The tailor suffered a great loss. He felt sad for his misdeed. But it was too late.

Moral: tit for tat.
