The story is part of the African Storybook Initiative and was reformatted for Bloom by Marlene Custer. It is copyright-free for non-commercial use, allowing adaptation and contribution. The narrative begins by introducing a king, his daughter the princess, and two neighbors, Elephant and Chameleon, who live on opposite sides of a palace. The region is suffering from a severe drought. The king devises a plan and summons both Elephant and Chameleon, instructing them to stomp on the ground until water appears. He promises the princess's hand in marriage to whoever succeeds in this task. Chameleon, being small, has little hope, while Elephant, large and powerful, is confident. Elephant begins stomping in the field, causing dust but no water. Despite his efforts, he exhausts himself to the point where water is nearly accessible, but he can no longer continue. He then gives Chameleon an opportunity to try.","Elephant and Chameleon  \nEnglish Animal Stories  \nElephant and Chameleon  \nWriter: Stella Badaru Illustrations: Wiehan de Jager Reformatted for Bloom by Marlene Custer African Storybook Initiative  \nEnglish  \n[www.africanstorybook.org](www.africanstorybook.org)[ ](www.africanstorybook.org)[Language: English](Language: English)  \nCopyright © 2015, African Storybook Initiative  \nYou may not use this work for commercial purposes.
