Don’t Let the Elephant Come into the Room




Vol. 3 of Da Wu’s Fantasy Trilogy.

A small elephant showed up in Da Wu and his brother’s room after their fight. No one wanted to compromise, so the elephant became bigger and bigger, until something dangerous happened...

In the story, the elephant is actually a metaphor for unresolved contradictions. The author is trying to tell the children about the importance of  forgiving and reconciling with others, otherwise many regrets will occur in our lives.
