The Kind Elephant and the Hair

A group of friendly elephants trick some bees into giving them honey and decide to bring it as a gift to their relatives. One of the elephants carries the honey in sacks on his back. Along the way, they encounter a hair who asks for a ride across a river, creating an opportunity for the hair to steal and eat the honey. The hair cleverly fills the empty honey sacks with stones to hide her theft. When the elephants discover the trick, they chase after the hair, leading to a comical chain of mistaken identity as the hair tricks farmers, women, and antelopes to divert the elephant's pursuit. Finally, the hair convinces a group of hairs to all skin their tails, making it impossible for the elephant to identify her. The elephant leaves empty-handed, vowing never to help a hair again.
