A singhala elephant and a white mouse
became very good friends
somehow.
One day, while walking together the elephant falls into
a rather large hole.
Being the singhala elephant's friend
the white mouse
hurries home and brings his Mercedes Benz
ties a line to the elephant and pulls him out.
The elephant humbly thanks the white mouse.
A few days later,
the mouse falls
into a rather deep hole.
The singhala elephant
rather calmly and easily
sticks down his
rather long appendage,
that elephants are known to have,
giving
the white mouse a way to climb out.

Moral of the story:
Singhala people don't need Mercedes Benz cars.
(It's a matter of pride)
