The perseverance of the elephant to rescue a friend in need births a miracle

An elephant and a mouse decide to play a game of tag. In the middle of the game, the elephant enters a burrow. As they are about to admit defeat due to the narrowing passage, they hear the mouse screaming. The elephant frantically squeezes their entire body through the gap, their desperation almost palpable. However, as they reach the mouse, they let slip a loud fart, and in a flash, both the elephant and the mouse are hurled out. Confused, the mouse asks the elephant how they got through the hole. The response “I was thinking only of you” is a simple yet heartwarming story of friendship and doing what’s best for a friend.

Step by step, through the fog of ambiguity filled with aimless doodles, unfinished notes, and light imaginations, one always find oneself at the end of it. I created ‘Why would the elephant act so?’ in the hopes that you will preserve your bold innocence in the face of uncertainty like the elephant.
