Who's the best?

Little Brother Rabbit is running along on the sand in the forest when he sees the whale and the Elephant, talking together. Little Brother Rabbit listens carefully to what they are saying: ''You are the biggest thing on the land, Brother Elephant,'' says the Whale, ''and I am the biggest thing in the sea; if we join together we can rule all the animals in the world, and we can be the king and the Queen of all the habitats.'' “It’s brilliant'' trumpets the Elephant. Little Brother Rabbit thinks to himself. ''They don't rule me''. For this reason he runs away, and has a meeting with all the animals of the different habitats. All together prepare a plan. The eagles get a very long, very strong rope, and the giraffes get their big drum, and hide it a long way off in the bushes. Then Little Brother Rabbit go along the beach till he came to the Whale. ''Oh, please, dear, strong Mr. Whale,'' he says, '' Can you do me a favour? The rhino is on a hole and I can’t save it. But you are so strong...'' The Whale is so happy with the compliment that he said, ''Yes,'' at once. Then,'' says the Rabbit, ''I tie this end of my long rope to you, and I run away and tie the other end round my camel, and when I am ready I beat my big drum. When you hear that, pull very, very hard, to help the rhino that is in the hole.'' ''Huh!'' grunts the Whale, “I can save the rhino.'' Little Brother Rabbit ties the rope-end to the whale, and runs till he come to the place where the Elephant is.


''Oh, please, mighty and kindly Elephant,'' he says, making a very low bow. ''Can you do me a favour?'' ''What is it?'' asks the Elephant. ''My friend, the rhino is in a hole and I can’t save it,'' says little Brother Rabbit, ''I know that you are so strong…'' ''Certainly,'' says the Elephant happily. ''Then,'' says little Brother Rabbit, ''I tie this end of my long rope to you, and I run away and tie the other end round the rhino, and when I am ready I beat my big drum.'' “When you hear that, pull; pull as hard as you can, rhino is very heavy.'' ''Don’t worry,'' says the Elephant, “I save twenty rhino.'' ''I am sure,'' says the Rabbit, politely, “thank you very much.'' Then he ties the end of the rope tightly round the Elephant's trunk, and run away into the bushes. There all the animals sitting down and beat the big drum. The Whale began to pull, and the Elephant began to pull. ''This is a very heavy rhino,'' says the Elephant; ''but I can help her!'' He says as he pulls. ''Dear me!'' says the Whale. “That rhino is very, very heavy”. She pulls harder; the Elephant pulls harder. So at the end, the elephant put the whale on the land, and the whale move the elephant, so suddenly, they find themselves near each other, because, don’t exist any rhino. All the animals are looking at them. Then the zebra says: “We are all a family, we all need things from each other, so hear there aren’t any animal which are better than the others”
