In a forest, a pair of sparrows named Chatak and Chatki lived in a nest in an evergreen bayleaf tree. After some time, Chatki laid eggs in that nest. One day a drunken elephant came and stood under the shade of that dense tree to avoid the scorching sun. Drunk on his power, he broke the branch of the tree in which the sparrow had made the nest. He grabbed it with his trunk and pulled it. The sparrow's nest collapsed and all the eggs broke. Chatki started crying as her eggs broke. Hearing her cry, her friend Woodpecker came to her and said, "Why are you crying in vain by remembering those who have gone, do not cry. We have to live life according to our capacity.” Hearing his words, Chatak said, "Your words are true. But what that elephant has done out of pride of its strength must be punished for it. If you are my true friend, then think of some way to punish this elephant, then only the sorrow will fade away.   After that the woodpecker went to his fly friend named Veenaarva and told him the whole thing. The fly took them all to her frog friend named Meghnad. Everyone consulted among themselves and thought of a way to get rid of the elephant. Meghnad said to the fly, "Fly! Tomorrow afternoon you make the sweet sound of your in the ears of the elephant. He will close his eyes because of that music. As soon as he closes his eyes the woodpecker will poke his eyes with his beak. In this way, when he becomes thirsty and tired he will want to drink water. Then I will go deep in the cliff with my family and make loud noises. Being blind, the elephant will come there thinking it to be a pond. He will die by falling into the ditch." In this way everyone together destroyed even a huge elephant with their cleverness. That is why it is said that with the use of intelligence, the weak together can defeat the strong ones.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
