Friendship Forged

In Flames

written by

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.
