The elephant was such a giant creature, a roach could crawl over him unnoticed, unfelt. He was the biggest creature in the kingdom. Everybody feared him. He stepped on all who got in his way, just trampled on them or sat on them, crushing them to the earth. And then one day a roach crawled into his ear and sat down just as the elephant sometimes did.The roach wouldn't move. The mighty beast tried to shake him loose but he couldn't.
Soon the elephant developed an Inner ear infection causing him to lose his balance. He stumbled and stumbled until he fell and his dizziness made him fall again and again. All the creatures in the kingdom rejoiced and cheered at the sight of the great beast down on the ground, looking sad and pitiful. The roach didn't move from inside his ear. Then he decided to dance in the elephant's ear, further inflaming and damaging the beast's ear that caused an infection. Soon the beast lost it's hearing and stumbled about deaf dumb and blind. One day as he wailed and stumbled about he fell into a chasm and was no more. As he was going down the precipice, the roach leaped from his ear and landed on a ledge. The roach climbed back up to solid ground.
