The Challenge of Strength

Strength is often perceived as a purely physical attribute, exemplified by the size and might of an elephant. However, in the story, Squirrel challenges this notion by proposing an eating contest, showcasing that cleverness and strategy can rival brute strength. Squirrel understands that while Elephant's size gives him an advantage, her own unique abilities and the support of her family can turn the tide. This sets the stage for a conflict that highlights the differing definitions of strength among various creatures.
