It's an idea! - happy parrot and began to command. - You monkey, get down and move aside, and you, the boa, take the tail over the branch and bend it, bend, bend until it will not bend. Then you and the elephant will go!
Boa grabbed the tail of a palm tree, on which sat the elephant, and began to bend her to the ground. He bent down, bent down and bent.
When the elephant, who clung to a palm tree was to the ground, the parrot called out:
- Let go!
This meant that the elephant had to let go of the tree and descend to earth. But the elephant did not understand who the parrot in charge, him or the boa. And in any case do not let go of the palm tree. Boa also did not understand. So just in case it palm released. And when boa released her, she straightened up extremely fast, this palm. And the elephant broke away from her and is also extremely fast where-that departed.
When the elephant returned, he looked at his friends accusingly and said,
- There is also growing cacti. Where I came from. The same prickly.
