Abstract
This story is new to me. A bully of an elephant rides rough over other animals and collects food only for himself. His victims gather together and, at the advice of a wise rat, change venues. The elephant is left alone in the forest which he has stripped. He soon atrophies and dies. This series does not have a page for stating a moral. Instead the last page offers two pictures of the elephant with the challenge of noticing the differences between the two. The penultimate page has a section at the bottom titled "Teachings obtained from this tale." Here the teaching is: "Nobody wants undoubtedly to associate with people with the habit of thugs." There are problems with the English editing in this version, especially in setting up clear quotations from characters in the story. The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink. The publisher's symbol of two purple heads reading an open red book appears here only on the back cover. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover. The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".
