An ant met an elephant near a river in the forest. the elephant said, "good morning, little thing." "little thing! " cried the ant. "i am very strong! i am the strongest of all! " "i am the strongest animal in the forest! " said the elephant. "well, come here tomorrow at the same time and we shall fight! then we shall see which of us is stronger," answered the little ant. "how can i fight with you? i don't see you in the grass! " cried the elephant. "then we shall pull a rope. and you will see that i am stronger than you," said the ant. "all right! " said the elephant and went away. the ant went to the river and said to a crocodile who lived there, "i have a good dinner for you, crocodile. come here tomorrow at the same time. i shall have a big hare tied to a rope for you." "that's very good of you, ant! " said the crocodile, "thank you very much! " the next morning the ant met the elephant. the ant gave the elephant the end of a long rope. "tie this end of the rope to your leg," said the ant, "and i shall tie the other end to my leg. when i say 'ready! ' you must begin to pull. then we shall see which of us is stronger." the elephant tied one end of the rope to his leg, and the ant ran off with the other end to the crocodile. the ant tied the rope to the crocodile's neck and said, "and now - pull! " and to the elephant he cried, "ready! " the crocodile began to pull, and the elephant began to pull, too. they pulled and they pulled. "how strong that ant is! " thought the elephant, and he pulled again. "how strong that hare is! " thought the crocodile, and he pulled again. and they pulled and pulled. but the clever ant only laughed at the silly elephant and the crocodile, and went home. перевидите текст
