There was once an elephant living in a forest. When summer came, his skin became very itchy.
To make things worse, the flies came to bother him. He used his long tail, ears and even his trunk to swat at them. But, there was a spot on his back that he could not reach.
One day, a fly was on the elephant again, licking the salt off him. It was a spot that the elephant could reach.
Just as the elephant prepared to kill the fly with his tail, he had an idea. He said, "Fly, I could kill you with my tail right now. But if you scratch my back where I can't reach. I will let you sit on me and eat all the salt you want!"
The fly buzzed, "Sure!" It flew to the top of the elephant's back and started working. The elephant smiled when his itch was finally scratched.
And he learned an important lesson. Sometimes, if we try, the worst of enemies can become the best of friends.
大象和苍蝇
从前，森林里住着一头大象。夏天来了，他的皮肤变得很痒。
更糟糕的是，苍蝇来打扰他，它用它的长尾巴、耳朵甚至鼻子来拍打它们。但是，他的背上有一个地方他够不着。
一天，一只苍蝇又飞到大象身上，舔大象身上的盐份。这是一个大象可以够到的地方。
正当大象准备用尾巴杀死苍蝇时，他有了一个主意。他说:“苍蝇，我现在就可以用尾巴杀死你。但如果你挠我背上够不着的地方。我会让你坐在我身上，想吃多少盐就吃多少盐!”
苍蝇嗡嗡地说:“当然!”它飞到大象的背顶上，开始工作。大象的痒终于被挠了，他笑了。
他学到了重要的一课。有时候，如果我们努力，最坏的敌人也可以变成最好的朋友。
