When a group of thieves break into Damsel the elephant's stall, their unkind and nasty plotting takes its toll on Damsel's usual kind and compassionate demeanour.

A lovely Buddhist tale that reminds us how our thoughts affect our actions. An episode from Journey with Story, a storytelling podcast for kids ages 4-10. (duration - 11 minutes)
