Reading Week 14: The King's White Elephant

The White Elephant who only knew to help and play with his playmate has to leave them.

Carpenter who goes to forest to cut down the trees so that they make lumber out of it and sell them.  That is the only source of money they had to feed their family and taking care of their family.  One day an elephant came with injured foot and the one who help him was the carpenter who were working in the forest. That was so nice thing to do by those carpenter and I was really happy that they help the elephant.

Elephant knew who had a big body and they pull so many things at once and heavy.  The elephant was nice and he wanted to help them because they help him when his foot was injured.  It was like how someone helps you and you want to return something to them you help them as.  It shows that the characteristic of element is nice and he is the type of elephant that would not leave without the things done half way.  The elephant started helping them by caring and pulling trees and woods and the carpenter also feed the elephant day and night.

The elephant had a son and that was the white elephant since he was getting old.  He went to his son and told him what happen and who help him.  The young white elephant was also nice and understanding and so he went to the forest the place of his father to pull the trees and help carpenter.  It is like a family thing that you have a good heart and help the people who help your family member.  But one day the King came and gave so much money to carpenter and take the white elephant away.  Now he couldn’t play with his playmates either that so sad.
