“We must stop them,” said the gods, and they thought of a trick They invited the elephants to a grand feast The elephants ate…and ate When their tummies were full, they slept The gods took away their wings They gave them to the peacocks and the banana trees The elephants were very cross They shouted and they stomped But they didn’t get their wings back and they never flew again.
