A circus was running in town, and crowds elbowed each other to buy tickets. One day an unusual incident happened. One of the circus elephants went wild. The name of the elephant was Bozo. It tried to kill its trainer who whipped and shouted at it. Inside the steel cage it trumpeted wildly and went in circles. Finally the ringmaster decided it was time to kill the rogue. But just as he lifted his arm to give the fatal signal, a small man stepped forward.
He wanted to go into the cage and quieten the pachyderm. The ringmaster was worried but at the same time eager to save the animal. So he opened the cage door and let the man in.
Bozo whirled around and glared through blood-shot eyes at the intruder. The man began to talk gently and softly. Bozo stopped pacing and listened. “Hello,” he said, “You are so sweet, we love you.” He continued to speak lovingly. Gradually Bozo relaxed and let out a small childlike cry. The astonished crowd broke into applause.
The man was Rudyard Kipling. What the whip and threatening could not do, love did. We must learn to speak the language of love. Instead of speaking harsh and hurtful words let us speak only the language of love. It will calm down anyone and win the hearts of everyone.
