How Elephants lost their Wings

But the elephants were noisy. They yelled, and crowed like roosters. Trees and houses shook below them. They flew into trees and smashed them. They landed on houses... and fell right through. Soon all the trees were broken and there were no houses left. "We must stop them," said the gods, and they thought of a trick.

This story is about flying elephants. They flew everywhere. But they flew into trees and smashed them. They landed on houses... and fell right through. So, the gods invited the elephants to a grand feast. The elephant ate too much and slept. Then the gods took away their wings. They gave them to the peacocks and the banana trees.
