In "Why the Whale Got His Throat," Rudyard Kipling weaves a whimsical tale explaining how the whale acquired his distinctive throat. Once a powerful creature of the sea, the whale had a much smaller mouth and was unable to swallow large prey. His transformation is triggered by an encounter with a cunning man from the land who teaches him a lesson about greed and gluttony. The story combines humor and moral lessons, showcasing Kipling's signature storytelling style. Through its imaginative narrative, readers learn about the consequences of being overly ambitious and the importance of moderation. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
