Abstract
-
en_US
This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 32 pages in length, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the second level. The back describes this pourquoi story as "based on a folktale from India." There were problems back when elephants could fly. They made a lot of noise, and they smashed trees and houses. The gods decided that they needed to be stopped. So they invited them to a grand feast. When the stuffed elephants slept, the gods took away their wings and gave them to peacocks and banana trees. Elephants have never flown since then. The booklet finishes with puzzles and answers. First published in the UK in 2007.
