Friendship Forged
In Flames

In a town far away, lived a donkey–
and ‘phant,
Always at odds, with a stubborn recant.
They’d squabble and quarrel, they’d bicker and feud,
Their fighting turned sunny days dark and subdued.
But one fateful night, a fire roared bright,
It swallowed their homes in its terrible might.
The donkey looked up, the ‘phant shed a tear,
Together they faced what they once used to fear.
With bricks and with beams, they worked side by side,
Building a city where kindness could guide.
Now donkey and ‘phant, no longer apart,
Share a city—and friendship—built straight from the heart.
