    Once upon a time, in a vast jungle, an elephant and a monkey crossed paths. Something about their first encounter sparked a connection, and they quickly became the best of friends.

    The elephant was big and calm, while the monkey was agile, often finding himself in trouble. The elephant suggested that the monkey take refuge in his large, strong body for safety.

    The monkey gladly accepted, marking a new phase in their friendship. They spent their days exploring the jungle, with the monkey swinging from the elephant’s tusks and the elephant shielding the monkey from danger.

    One day, a large buffalo came charging into the jungle. Spotting the monkey, it started a wild chase. The elephant saw this and quickly hid the monkey within his strong grip.

    The buffalo searched for the monkey near the elephant, but the elephant kept the monkey safe, standing his ground firmly. The buffalo eventually gave up and left, leaving them unharmed.

    The monkey thanked the elephant and decided to return the favor. He thought of ways to help his friend, the elephant. The elephant, however, told him that it's always good to help each other in the jungle.

    The next day, the monkey saw a swarm of bees heading towards the elephant while he was sleeping. The monkey quickly climbed a tree and began shaking it, causing a shower of fruits to fall and distract the bees.

    The bees got distracted and started hovering around the fallen fruits. This gave the monkey enough time to wake up the elephant and move him away from the bees. The elephant was grateful to the monkey.
