I was actually surprised how easily this came to me. It was actually a lot of fun to write and only took me a little bit to come up with the whole story. Pretty proud of my first attempt.
My submission is a colorful little poem I wrote. Somebody commented that it would make a great children's book, so I thought it might suit this prompt as well.
It took me a while to figure this one out, but I've finally submitted something. Haven't actually written a short story in forever, so I hope I still know how to do it. *smile* Thanks again for the opportunity!
Haha after writing I see that i'm too late to submit :')
dog versus elephant if life was about being the best, which species would have done better?
was it perhaps the dog, that befriended the humans like no other animal had achieved?
or was it the elephant, that would certainly kill any dog and any human in single combat?
if we look at survival through numbers, then dog certainly has the upperhand, being the most kept pet in many a home. It most certainly wouldn't have been this succesful without this symbiosis.
Elephant decided to find this symbiosis with little birds and be the dominant species, where dogs definitely chose to play a submissive role.
What does this teach the children? Do we tell them to learn from this to sometimes be like water and sometimes like a rock, sometimes like an elephant and sometimes like a dog. That life is to find out when and where to be what, and that the right choice, sometimes can still be wrong?
Or do we keep there ignorant bliss? Letting them live a lie, filling there head with pretty stories? which is to be prefered?
enough talk about the questions this picture raises in my mind.
Haiku:
the white snowflakes fall while dog and elephant play in the new twilight
dog and elephant are sizing eachother up for the snowballfight
somebody must die the elephant or the dog painter or the snow
but what if I was born in summer?
In the spring of life the waiting is on summer but then comes autumn
