The King of the forest is old. He needs to find a new King.
Bird: Im helpful. I can fly over rivers and mountain. And I can sing beautiful songs.
Butterfly: Im most helpful! Im pretty. People are happy to see me, and children are happy to play with me. All the animals like me.
Puppy: Im more helpful than you. I can look after the babies, and catch the thief. I can be everybodys friend.
Elephant: ... [Elephant is sitting on the grass without any words.]
At last, the old King chooses Elephant to be the new King. He says, “The elephant is strong, and he is modest (谦虚的)!”
森林之王老了,他要找个接班人。
鸟儿说:我很能干。我可以飞越山川和河流,我还能唱动听的歌。
蝴蝶说:我才是最有用的。我这么美丽,招人喜爱,孩子们喜欢和我玩,所有动物都喜欢我。
小狗说:我比你们能干多了。我能看孩子,抓小偷。我很忠诚,我是所有人的朋友。
大象:……(大象坐在草地上一言不发)
最后,老国王选了大象当新的森林之王。他说:“大象身体强壮,却最谦卑。”
