"I can't believe dancing is so hard! They always make it look easy on television," complained Fred to his twin sister Adelaide. "That's because everything on television is fake, silly! Mom said to never believe what you see on there," retorted Adelaide while attempting a pirouette that looked more like a failed attempt at scratching her back. "Still," moaned Fred, "you see the leopard siblings constantly dance in the savannah, and they make it look so easy." Fred's eyes slowly filled with tears of frustration as he stumbled over his chunky legs for the umpteenth time that morning. Adelaide giggled and claimed: "That's obviously because they don't weigh as much as us! We are just not made for cool stuff like that." 

"That's not a very nice thing to say," replied their mother, who had been observing their antics for a while without intervention. "Just because our bodies are not as lithe as the leopards, does not mean that we are less worthy. We have many other talents that the leopards wished they had." Mother Elephant, slowly making her way to her teary-eyed son, offered her trunk to him to help him back onto his feet. "We have extreme strength that is almost unparalleled in the animal world! And our trunks are amazing designs of nature that allow us to do so many different tasks that other animals could not even dream about achieving!" This statement from Mother Elephant made Adelaide take a closer look at her trunk, observing its great strength and prehensility. Fred, too, analyzed the muscles on his body and admired the force that was hiding behind his hide; his tears now almost dried. 

Mother Elephant smiled at her children, aware of the potency of her words. "We all have different strengths and weaknesses, and it is important not to feel discouraged about the latter. Just remember the things that make us unique!" she said and gave the children a warm hug before the two twins rushed back into the bushland to compare their strength in a playful battle.
