It’s an ancient story that has many versions and has been told from generation to generation, it’s a good story to think about. It takes place in a remote part of the jungle, where a beautiful young elephant lived who was old enough to get married.
However, she had not yet found an elephant to steal her heart, however, one afternoon she saw in the distance a group of elephants approaching where he was with his family, within the group was a beautiful elephant that she fell in love with.
- The groups got together and the elephant started walking with her.
- Started talking and soon realized they had a lot in common.
- So over the days they both fell in love.
- Within a few months they told others that they had made the decision to get married.
“Never despair, even in the darkest afflictions, for dark clouds fall clean, fertile water.
From this story, both groups of elephants were very happy, this is because they hadn’t had a wedding in a long time and lovers were a beautiful couple.
In this way, some of the older elephants came together to make sure the bride and groom had a nice wedding dress. Others were ready to plan the menu for the event of the year.
It wasn’t long before male elephants built a large hall. There would take place the wedding and the party. Everyone would see it and it would be an unforgettable event. All the elephants waited for the party with joy and enthusiasm.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the wedding began to approach. The elephant in love ordered the rings with one of his friends, who was also an excellent jeweler. The wedding ring was crafted patiently and beautifully.
There was only one day before the wedding when the loving elephant received the news that the rings were ready, he quickly ran to the jewelry store to pick them up with his friend, curiosity invades him. I was hoping everything would be perfect.
He tells the story that when the elephant in love saw the rings he was ecstatic, congratulated his friend on his excellent work of art, fortunately loaded the rings into his trunk and began to go home, from now on only the costume was missing the ceremony. I thought about it as I passed by the river.
He was so distracted that he paid no attention to a huge stone on the way, in the water, tripped and fell into the river, it happened so suddenly that the elephant in love only thought of running away, and so it was. Meanwhile, he looked at his trunk and realized that he had lost one of the covenants.
The passionate elephant fell into despair, ran down the shore in search of the lost ring, looked everywhere, but it was useless. It was very difficult to find such a small object, the more I explored the river, the more lost the jewel looked and the more despair appeared on the elephant’s face.
A curious owl watched part of the scene. ” Calm down!”He told the elephant. But the story tells that the elephant’s anxiety increased after listening to the owl, she thought she didn’t understand her situation.
The wedding was going to take place in one day and there was no time to make a new ring, what would the bride think?What would the guests think? This is what went through the head of the passionate elephant as he continued to spin the river.
Then the owl said, “Listen to me: shut up. It’ll all work out. Do I know what I’m talking about? The elephant in love remembered that the owl was famous for its wisdom, so he decided to obey him.
He was completely silent for a few minutes. Soon, the waters of the river calmed down, the sediments settled and the calm water allowed the light to reach the bottom, then the elephant could see the ring and saved it.
In this way, the young elephant learned a great lesson, his despair had sown confusion in the creek, preventing him from seeing the ring, thanked the owl for teaching and returned home wanting to enjoy the day. As a legacy, he left, us with a beautiful story to reflect on.
