1 Once there were two friends, a mynah
and an elephant. One day the elephant said. “You know, all my life I have
wanted to fly. I have always dreamt of what fun it would be to fly over the
village and look down at the houses and people, to glide over the river and
jungle.
2 Do you think I can fly?’
3 “Sure, you can,” said the mynah.
4
Reaching back with his beak, he pulled a feather from his tail, “ Here”
he said, “take this feather
5 and hold it firmly in your mouth.
6 Then flap your ears as hard as you
7
and you will fly.”
8 The elephant did as he was told. He put the
feather in his mouth, flapped his ears as hard as he could
9 and, lo and behold, he began to fly.
10 Holding the feather tight in his mouth, he
flew over the village. He looked down at the people; he glided over the river
and over the trees.
11 He did things he had never done, saw things,
as he had never seen them before.
12 When at last the glided back to
earth, he ran to meet his friend, guarding the feather carefully with his
trunk.
13 “Mynah, you’ve changed my whole life”, he
said,
14 “I really can’t thank you enough for
this feather.
15 That feather?” said the mynah,
16 “You didn’t need that.
17 That was one of my old ones.
18 I just gave you something to believe
in. It was you flapping, you ears that did it,
19
not the feather.”
