🐘 The Elephant Who Spoke Softly
In a wide green forest where voices echoed easily, lived a young elephant named Elu. Though he was the biggest animal around, Elu discovered that gentle words could travel farther than loud ones.
💫 Quick Tale for Busy Evenings
Elu the elephant had a powerful voice and loved to use it. But when his loud calls scared his friends away, he learned to speak softly instead. To his surprise, everyone listened more closely when he did.
Moral: Kind words are heard best when spoken gently.
📖 Full Story
Elu was a strong, cheerful elephant who loved to talk. His voice was deep and booming, and it echoed across the forest.
“GOOD MORNING!” Elu would call out, and birds would flutter away in surprise.
“LET’S PLAY!” he’d shout, and the rabbits would dash into their burrows.
Elu didn’t mean to scare anyone—he was just excited.
One afternoon, Elu noticed that no one came when he called. The clearing felt quiet and lonely. Soon, Wise Owl fluttered down and perched on a branch nearby.
“Your heart is kind,” Owl said, “but your voice is very loud. Try speaking softly.”
Elu took a deep breath and tried again.
“Hello… would anyone like to play?” he said gently.
From behind trees and bushes, animals slowly appeared. Deer smiled. Monkeys waved. Birds returned to their branches.
Elu felt something warm in his chest. Speaking softly didn’t make him smaller—it brought everyone closer.
From that day on, Elu used his big heart and gentle voice together, and the forest felt happier than ever.
🌈 Conclusion
Elu’s story shows that how we speak matters just as much as what we say. Gentle words help others feel safe, heard, and welcome.
