A story to illustrate the saying a short cut is often a wrong cut

There was once a baby elephant named Judy and his younger brother Stumpy. Their mummy elephant used to make a trumpet sound to give them a signal for dinner. The two little elephants would hear the trumpet and run towards their mummy to have their meal. Mummy elephant always fed Judy, the elder elephant first with a little extra food. One day, Judy noticed that Stumpy, the younger brother was very far ahead of him and he wanted to beat him because he wanted get bigger and stronger and needed more food for that. When he looked around, he noticed a little pathway that went right to his house, passing over a narrow log bridge and through a rocky area. He then made a decision to cut through it because he believed it would be quicker than trying to reach his mummy by crossing three rivers and a forest. He ran over to the log and started to cross it. He initially felt unsteady on the log, but he swiftly went on. However, the log broke just as Judy was about to cross it, throwing him into the rushing river below. He was unable to fight the water current and was quickly swept away by it. He frantically called for his brother Stumpy for help. After a few moments of struggle, Stumpy helped his brother Judy out of the river. As a result of saving him, Judy let Stumpy reach the house first. They both happily had their meal with their mummy. That day Judy realised that 'a short cut is often a wrong cut'.
