Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Elyas Vidyasagar who lived in a small village. He was a kind and gentle boy, and he loved all animals. One day, Elyas was playing in the forest when he came across a group of animals that were arguing.
"What's the matter?" asked Elyas.
"We can't agree on who's the best animal," said the lion.
"I'm the strongest," said the lion.
"I'm the fastest," said the cheetah.
"I'm the smartest," said the owl.
Elyas listened to the animals argue for a while, and then he said, "I think you're all great. Each of you has your own special talents."
The animals were surprised by Elyas's words. They had never thought of it that way before.
"You're right," said the lion. "We're all different, and that's what makes us special."
"I'm glad you think so," said Elyas. "I think we should all be friends."
The animals agreed, and they all became friends. They played together, they told stories, and they helped each other out. Elyas was the best friend they could have asked for.
One day, the animals were playing in the forest when they came across a group of hunters. The hunters were going to kill the animals, but Elyas stood up to them.
"You can't hurt my friends," said Elyas.
The hunters were surprised by Elyas's courage. They had never seen a human boy who could talk to animals.
"We'll leave," said the hunters. "But we'll be back for you, Elyas Vidyasagar."
The hunters left, and the animals were safe. Elyas was a hero. He had saved his friends, and he had shown the hunters that humans and animals can be friends.
Elyas Vidyasagar continued to live in the village, and he continued to be friends with the animals. He was a kind and gentle boy, and he loved all creatures great and small.
