There was once a wolf who felt so hungry. He gulped down all his food as
though his life depended on it. No wonder he had a chicken bone stuck in his
throat. Luckily for him, a stork who happened to be passing nearby, heard his
shrieks of pain, and she stopped, always ready to help wherever she could.
Just one look was enough for her to guess what had happened. At once,
without saying a word or wasting any time, she set to work. It was going to be a
very long and a very difficult job. But how could the stork help the greedy wolf?
At last, with the aid of her long beak, she got hold of the bone and pulled it
out of the wolf's throat.
Now, any other animal would have been glad to pay the stork for what she
did. And when the wolf began walking away, without even thanking her, she said
as much.
"You think I would pay you?" cried the wolf, finding his voice. "After
digging into my throat with your long beak? You should be glad I don't eat you,

Elephant
Among all animals, only the elephant has such a distinctive nose as the
trunk. The trunk is primarily a nose for breathing. It also acts as a nose
which is capable of sucking and blowing liquids when drinking and
showering, and to collect dust to blow over the body. No other mammal
can use its nose in such a similar manner.
The trunk can also be used as a trumpet. It can be used to tear up glass,
remove the dirt from the root and bring it to the elephant’s mouth. The
elephant uses its trunk to select fruits, break off branches and lift huge
logs. Elephants can also dig in sandy river beds with their trunks to get
water.
The white horn-like things protruding out of the elephant’s mouth are
its tusks. A baby elephant has milk tusks which fall out when it is one
year old. They continue to grow throughout an elephant’s life, which
means that the bigger the tusks, the older the elephant. The tusks are
used mainly as tools although they are sometimes used as weapon by
the elephant.
The rest of the elephant’s teeth are also remarkable. Elephants are
completely vegetarians. Like cows, horses and sheep, they grind
vegetation, so it can be digested easily.
Smell is the most highly developed sense of the elephant. Elephants
pick up surrounding scents on the breeze. If the scent disturbs them, they
raise their trunks and point the tips in that direction.
