The Story
The Bird and The Elephant starts with an introduction and is then broken up into 10 discussions.
A bird is flying high one day when he decides he needs to take a rest. He glances down below and aims for a large rock. But it isn't a rock! He shockingly discovers he's landed on an elephant's back. They begin having a conversation. The bird is impatient and hot headed while the elephant is calming and wise. Through their discussions the bird learns a lot about life and ultimately, himself.

"Now that’s a good question!" The elephant declared
"Are you ready for the answer? Are you fully prepared?"
The bird said. "Of course, now tell me it's due"
"Well you - are me, and I - am you."

"Where do you come from?" The elephant said.
"That’s easy." Said the bird. "I come from an egg"
"But before the egg, what about that?"
"I came from my mother, that's a natural fact."

Discussion 3
Why are we here?
"So you are an elephant and you eat grass for your dinner.
I have 2 wings and I'm a pretty good singer.
Over there’s a hyena, she’s known for her laugh,
And that thing with the long neck is called a giraffe."

Friendship
"A friend is one on whom you can depend.
To be there, by your side, to borrow or lend.
To help and advise, from light chats to wise,
Who doesn't change voices or wear a disguise."
