It was a hot dry day in the lowlands and elephant was trying to shield himself from the sun. "Why does the sun always make a beautiful day a hot day?" He complained. "Oh good, there's a grove of trees ahead!" He trudged toward a grove of trees when suddenly an ant bit his toe. "You were about to crush my home!" Cried the ant. Elephant looks down and notices a town of anthills. He was awed by their structure. "Ant, does this protect you from the sun?" "Underground it is damp and cool, so yes," Replied ant. "Forget the trees!" Elephant mumbles. "I want to make myself an anthill instead." He asks politely, "Ant, can you tell me how to make one?" The ant asked, "How many more questions are you going to ask me? can't you see I'm busy!?" "Just one more. how long will it take to make one?" "A lifetime!!!" Shouted ant, and then he disappeared into his hole. Elephant muttered to himself, "I don't need that stupid ant to tell me what to do." Then he remembered what elephants are known for - granting wishes. "I wish for a house like the ants." Poof! An anthill, not an elephanthill, appeared. 
Wishes don't always give you what you want.
