The little elephant thought: The big elephants have long trunks, and so do I. They have big ears, and so do I. They have two long, sharp tusks, and I…
But where were his tusks? Oh no—his tusks! Suddenly he became worried.
He had never thought about this before. Now he began to cry. Strange thoughts filled his mind: Maybe my tusks have fallen out and I didn’t even notice. Maybe I should tell my mother the truth, that my tusks are lost. Then another thought struck him: If I tell her, she will scold me and say, “Why didn’t you take care of your tusks? How did you lose them?”
So, he decided: No matter what happens, I will find my tusks myself.
With this thought, the little elephant set off into the jungle to search for them. He looked among trees, bushes, and plants, but his tusks were nowhere to be found. Suddenly, he saw a monkey sitting on a tree.
“Hello, Uncle Monkey,” the little elephant said politely. “My tusks are lost. Have you seen them anywhere? Two sharp tusks?”
“No, little one,” the monkey replied. “I haven’t seen your tusks anywhere.” Then the monkey leapt to another branch and disappeared.
The little elephant walked on. Soon he met a giraffe. He greeted him and asked:
“Uncle Giraffe! Have you seen my two sharp tusks? I’ve lost them.”
The giraffe stretched his long neck and replied with the same answer as the monkey: “No, I haven’t seen them.”
The little elephant kept walking until he came across a lion. He greeted him and asked:
“Grandfather Lion, have you seen my two long, sharp tusks? They’ve gone missing.”
The lion said, “No, I haven’t seen your tusks. But how did they get lost? Why didn’t you take care of them earlier?”
By then, night had fallen and darkness spread through the jungle. The little elephant was tired. The lion’s words had made him even more worried. He thought to himself: I must go back and tell my mother everything.
So, the little elephant returned home. His mother was anxiously waiting for him. When he arrived, she kissed his forehead and asked, “My son, where have you been? Why are you so late?”
The little elephant, trembling with fear, said:
“My tusks… my two long, sharp tusks are lost! I searched the whole jungle, but I couldn’t find them anywhere.”
His mother looked at him with surprise and asked:
“Your tusks are lost? Which tusks?”
With a sad face, the little elephant said:
“My two long, sharp tusks. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find them.”
The mother elephant wrapped her trunk around his neck, pulled him close, and burst into hearty laughter. Hearing her laughter, the birds flew out of their nests, and the animals nearby paused to listen.
Then she said:
“My dear son, all baby elephants are born without tusks. As the babies grow, their tusks slowly start to appear. One day, they become so big that everyone can see them. So, my silly little one, when you grow up, your tusks will come out by themselves.”
The little elephant exclaimed in surprise:
“Oh! I didn’t know that at all!”
Both mother and son laughed together and kept laughing for a long time.

In an African forest, a little elephant lived with his parents. He spent his days chewing leaves from the trees and wandering around. In the evenings, he quenched his thirst by drinking water from a pond or stream.
One evening, his parents took him to the river. He had heard a lot about the river from the elders but had never had the chance to go there. Today, for the first time, as he set out toward the river, he was very happy. He skipped and played along the way.
When he reached the river, he saw a strange but delightful sight. Elephants were bathing in the river, filling their trunks with water and splashing it on one another. The little elephant first stood at the riverbank, watching the scene in amazement. The other elephants welcomed him and invited him to join in. Slowly, he stepped into the shallow water and began playing with them. Very soon, he blended in with the group. He too filled his trunk with water and splashed it on the others, and they splashed it back on him. This gave the little elephant great confidence.
As the sun began to set, the elephants gathered on the riverbank to watch the beautiful view. The little elephant also looked at the sun, but its bright light dazzled his eyes. So, he turned to look at the elephants instead. He thought to himself: I am just like the big elephants. What if I am younger than them?

The crypto market remains one of the most volatile asset classes. Prices of leading coins such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) often swing significantly within hours, influenced by global economic conditions, regulatory updates, and investor sentiment. While Bitcoin is still considered the “digital gold” and a hedge against inflation, Ethereum continues to dominate the decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) spaces through its robust smart contract capabilities.
At the same time, newer blockchains such as Solana, Avalanche, and Cardano are competing to provide faster and cheaper transactions. Stablecoins like USDT (Tether) and USDC (USD Coin) have also become essential, serving as a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.
