How Elephants Lost their Wings

Ryka Krishna, 1D

Once upon a time, elephants had wings. They looked like banana leaves and peacock tails. Sometimes the Gods flew on their backs. But the elephants were very noisy.

They smashed banana trees, fell inside houses and broke them. Something had to be done, the Gods decided. They had an idea. They invited the elephants to a feast. After they ate, they fell asleep.

When they woke up, the Gods and the elephants had a meeting. “Why did you break the houses and trees?” asked the Gods. “Okay, you can take away our wings then,” said the elephants.

“Fine, we will take away your wings” said the Gods. The elephants never got their wings back. The gods were happy and everyone else was happy.
