The Mice and The Elephant

I A long time ago, there was a village where no one lived. It was a deserted village which had no house or buildings for anyone to saty and that was because all off the buildings had dacayed. Some mice had made this dilapidated village their kingdom. Here there were mouse holes in hundreds in which thousands of mice had bred for generations. They lived happily in the dense tangle of mouse holes and followed their own lifestyle, festivals and customs in peace.

II One day, out of a sudden, an elephant king, Iravat, passed trough the mice kingdom. Iravat an his retinue of thousands destroyed many holes and crushed many innocent mice under their heavy, thundering feet. They were more concerned about reaching their destination, a lake on the other side of the village. III Seeing the havoc wreaked by the elephants, the mice king, Mooshak, decided to meet Iravat. IV Oh Iravat, king of elepehant and mighty one, addressed Mooshak, i know your might and your valour. Your passing through my kingdom has brought death and misery to my people. I request you to change your route so that we have at least some mice left to bring up generations. Your kind agreement would bring relief to my community. I am sure to repay you in some time of need, small and weak though you may think of me to be. Oh Mooshak, replied Iravat, I see logic in your request. I grant your wish. As for your repay, only time will tell whata tiny creature like you can do for an elephant like me. V Only after a few days, something happened. The elephant king was caught in a water trap laid by the human king. His men dragged out Iravat with strong ropes. Iravat felt helpless and saw no solution coming this way. His elephant fellows couldnt help him.

VI Then, he remembered Mooshak. Iravat trumpeted out loud and summoned a calf who knew about Mooshak and his meeting with Iravat, Go to Mooshak and ask him to help me out. The time has came for him to repay his debt to me for heedings his request in the past, said Iravat to the calf. VII The calf rushed to Mooshak with the message from the elephant king. Mooshak arrived quckly with his strong-toothed army of soldier mice. They set to chew at the sturdy and very thick ropes and Iravat was free. The elephant king thanked Mooshak and his troop.
