Lakshmi Hathi

Once upon a time, there lived an elephant. One day it hurt itself with a nail. The elephant's name was Lakshmi. She asked for help but no one helped her. She saw a washerman who was passing there. Lakshmi prayed for him to remove the nail. The washerman was very kind so he pulled out the nail. Lakshmi seemed relaxed. She thanked the washerman then they catched there way. The very next day the washerman saw a bundle of clothes outside his house. It was from Lakshmi as a token of her gratitude. After that day every day, Lakshmi used to go to everyone's house and collect the clothes. Then she was keeping them at the front door of the washerman. Every person noticed it and complained near the king. The washerman was called in darwar. He confessed that clothes are with humans assured all to them. Then he went to Lakshmi's house and said "I appreciate your gratefulness but what you done is wrong . To bring others belongings without their permission is called thief so you should not do that again ". Lakshmi placed her trunk upon the washerman's hand assuring him to obey his words. After that, no one complained of theft of clothes and sometimes Lakshmi was seen helping others.
