Elephants have a trunk which is like a human hand. They use it to collect their food and to grape a branch which they can use to hit someone. Elephants depend on one another for food. Elephant communicate with each other by using a language. Elephants can wash themselves with their trumps just like humans do with their hands.
Elephants can collect water from the bottom of a deep well just like village women do.
The area where many tales are told is on relationship between the elephant and other animals. This one below tries to explain why the elephant is afraid of the hen. One day a competition was organised to find out who could eat much more food and much faster than all others. The hen and the elephant. The elephant, feeling proud that he was going to win with a sweep of the left hand, decided not to waste much time for this match.
