    Cuento The Mice and the Elephants

    Long time ago in India there was an old deserted village. Empty were the old houses,
    streets and shops. The windows were open, the stairs broken.  Making it one very fine
    place for mice to run around, you can be sure of that!

    In fact, the mice were happily living in this old deserted village that had been there for
    hundreds of years, even before the people had come in the first place and then left.

    But now was the best time yet for the mice. They made tunnels all through those fine
    old homes and buildings, forming great mazes. What good times they had, with their
    many dinner parties and festivals, weddings and feasts.

    And so the time passed.

    One day, a herd of elephants, numbering in the thousands, stamped through the village
    on their way to a big lake in the west.  All the elephants were thinking about as they
    marched was how good it would be to jump in that lake for a cool swim. They did not
    know (and how could they?) that as they marched through the village, those big
    elephant feet were stamping down the mazes and tunnels the mice made.  What a mess
    those elephants left behind!

    What good times they had, with their many dinner parties and festivals, weddings and
    feasts.

    The mice quickly held a meeting.

    “If the herd comes back this way again, our community is doomed!” cried one mouse.

    “We won’t stand a chance!” cried another.

    There was only one thing to do.  A group of brave mice followed those elephant
    footprints all the way to the lake.  There they found the King of the Elephants. Bowing
    before him, one mouse spoke for the others and said, “O King, not far from here is our
    mice community.  It’s in that old deserted village you passes through. You may
    remember it?”

    “Of course I remember it,” said the Elephant King.  “But we did not know a mice
    community was there.”
    “How could you?” said this mouse.  “But your herd stamped out many of the homes
    where we have lived for hundreds of years.  If you were to return the same way, that
    would surely be the end of us! We are small and you are big, but we ask you, please.
    Won’t you find another way to go home? Who knows, maybe someday we mice can
    help you, too.”

    There was only one thing to do.

    The Elephant King smiled.  Imagine – how could tiny mice ever help an elephant?!  But
    he felt truly sad his herd had crushed the village of the mice, without even knowing it.
    He said, “There is no need for you to worry. I will lead the herd home in another way.”

    It so happens that nearby lived a certain king who ordered his hunters to trap as many
    elephants as they could.  Knowing that the elephants came from far and wide to jump in
    the big lake to swim, they made a water trap there. As soon as the Elephant King and his
    herd jumped into that lake they were caught in the trap, one and all.

    Two days later the hunters dragged the Elephant King and his herd out of the lake with
    large ropes and tied the elephants to big trees in the forest.

    When the hunters had gone, the Elephant King tried to think.  What could they do?
    They were all tied to the trees but one elephant.  She was free because she did not jump
    in the lake.

    They tied the elephants to big trees in the forest.

    The Elephant King called to her.  He told her that she must go back to the old deserted
    village and bring back the mice who lived there.

    When the mice found out the trouble that the Elephant King and his herd were in, they
    raced over to the lake.  Seeing the King and his herd tied up, they quickly ran over to
    the ropes and began chewing. They chewed and chewed as quickly as they could.  Soon,
    the ropes were chewed all the way through and the mice set their large friends free. The
    elephant herd found a new way home and the mice community lived on for many years
    to come
