Desperate Elephant
It is known that if you disturb a white elephant, he can even destroy his owner.
Once, finding himself in such a situation, the owner ran from the elephant and, slipping, hung over a precipice. He managed to grab onto the roots of a tree and thought that if he fell, he would die anyway.
Meanwhile, a white mouse was gnawing at the root he was holding onto.
And then honey dripped from a branch onto the elephant owner's hand, and knowing that he had only seconds to live, he enjoyed licking the honey off his hand.
The essence of the parable is that one should not waste even a second - even in short seconds, one can enjoy life.
God and the Donkey

God replied to him:
If you had horns, you wouldn't let anyone live in peace.
