The White Elephant, and Other Tales From India

"The White Elephant and Other Tales From India" by Georgene Faulkner is a collection of Indian folktales that shares important lessons. These stories teach readers about being kind, smart, and good through interesting stories. "The White Elephant" tells of an elephant who cares deeply for the woodcutters that saved him, then helps them with their work. The elephant teaches his son, a beautiful White Elephant, the importance of friendship. The White Elephant grows close to the woodcutters until a Rajah wants the elephant for himself, which makes everyone decide what is most important: friendship, loyalty, or sacrifice.
