The elephant and the turtle

Sinossi

This story is based on a fable from one of the world's ancient works of literature, ‘The Mahabharat.' It is a fascinating tale about two brothers who constantly bicker over trivial matters. One day, amid a heated argument, they curse each other to become a turtle and an elephant. Much to their surprise, their curses come true, and they find themselves in a forest, unable to communicate.

As the story progresses, we witness the consequences of hostility among family members. The story beautifully depicts how being hateful towards each other only leads to isolation and despair.

This story showcases how life-threatening situations can bring even the worst of enemies together. It reminds us of the significance of being grateful for and cherishing what we have in life. The brothers, who were once at odds, learn to appreciate each other's company and support in the face of adversity. It is a poignant reminder of the power of forgiveness and the importance of family bonds.
