The Elephant with a Rope (Belief)

Another inspiring story is of the elephant with a rope. One day there was a man who was walking around the camp of an elephant. He decided to go a bit closer and was surprised to see that these mighty animals were not held with cages or chains. The only thing that stopped them was a thin rope tied in one of their legs to a simple pole in the ground. The man got a bit confused; and asked the trainer “why these elephants weren’t trying to run away when they had all the strength to break that rope and the pole.”

The trainer replied that “when we have baby elephants, we tie them with these ropes which are strong enough to stop them and when they grew up, they still believe that they won’t be able to break that rope even when they are adults.”
