"The White Elephant" by Sid Fleischman is a whimsical tale set in ancient India, where a young prince named young Prince is set to inherit a grand white elephant, a symbol of royal power and prosperity. However, the elephant brings misfortune instead, leading the kingdom into turmoil. To rid themselves of this burden, the king devises a clever scheme involving the elephant. Throughout the story, themes of loyalty, cleverness, and the true meaning of wealth emerge, woven into a narrative that highlights the humor and absurdities of royal life. Ultimately, the tale emphasizes that true riches come from within. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
