A cat and an elephant were good friends in a forest. One day, while the cat was chasing a rat, it slipped and fell into a deep pit. The cat cried for help. The elephant came and lifted up the cat from the pit and said, “Look, your feet are thin. That’s why you so easily slip and fall. My feet are strong like iron pillars. I will never slip and fall.” The cat said, “A time will come when you may slip and fall and I may have to help you. Don’t boast.” The elephant laughed saying, “A cat helping an elephant? Never.”
One day the elephant stepped on leaves, spread over bamboo sticks, covering a deep large pit, set by hunters to catch elephants. The elephant fell into the pit and desperately trumpeted. Hearing his friend’s cry the cat ran to her. The cat started
pushing in mud and leaves into the pit. He worked furiously till evening. Before the hunters came the elephant climbed out of the pit, stepping on the leaves and soil.
The elephant said, “I have realized that even elephants can slip and fall. Please forgive me for what I said.”
Anyone can fall any time. We should never boast of our goodness or greatness.
