The story of respect and politeness (part 2)

Sometimes, The bird nosily trumpeted loudly in the jungle.
The monkey complained that " Why is the crazy bird so noisy? I'm having a sweet dream.  I can't find any happiness here. I'm going crazy."

The elephant murmur with himself " Annoying! When will this jungle become peaceful?"
But the bird laugh very loudly and said " Swell! They're all awake."

Many day had passed, three animal were bored, and wanted to live peacefully.

The monkey said " Boring. I think we should stop fighting"
The elephant said" Are you bored? So am I. Living  peacefully is better. Listen, from now on I'm gonna be your leader because I'm the biggest. You have to obey me. The jungle will be peaceful."


The monkey declined that " It's too much. Little brother. I'm older than you. You have to call me ' Big bro', do you get it? Big Bro.Big Bro. You have to obey me. Do you understand?"


The elephant argued that " I'm older than you. Look at the banyan tree. When I was young, it was as high as my belly. When I walked by, it touched my tummy, that was tickling. I had seen this tree before you did for sure."


The monkey said " Wrong. I'd seen it before you did. I'd seen it since it was small and shorter than your belly. When I was young I easily pick the leaves on the top to eat. the tree was high less than a cubit., I was born before you."

They knew that the monkey was born before the elephant because he had seen the banyan tree first. Now it was the age of the bird that left unknown.

The bird told that" When I was young, there was no banyan tree here. It was in the woods over there. It was me who ate its fruits there and dropped my dropping here.The tree might grow from my dropping. I certainly older than you. Call me Big Sis, little Bros."

The monkey said" Well. The bird is the oldest. Then you're the big sister. I'm the younger brother . Is it ok, elephant?"
T้he elephant agreed and said that " Fine, Big Sister, Brother."

When they know the seniority, they stopped annoying one another. They became united, sharing and supported one another


The elephant said to their friends that " Tired, you guys? Come and sit on my back. I'll take you where sweet fruits are."
The monkey said " Good, Little Bro. My arms are exhausted. You go to your left. The other days I saw some ripe banana. You'll love it."
The bird agreed and said " Good. I can feed myself some worms over there. It's lacking here. Let's go Little Bros."

Three animal lived happily til they died.

This tale teaches that a person who is polite and respect to the elder , he will gain happiness in their life. Just like this story that even the animals tried to pick the older who had more virtue among them in order to show their respect.
