Elephant and all other animals are sitting around monkey's dead body, some are crying loudly, some are sobbing. "Why don't we ask mouse deer, to see if anything can be done," says turtle.
So elephant brings monkey's body to go and see mouse deer. "How can I bring monkey back?" asks elephant to mouse deer.
"No, you can't," says mouse deer.
"Please.... I'm willing to do anything. ANYTHING!" says elephant.
"I heard the legend saying that up in the mountain, there is a special flower calls 黑天山雪莲. The flower is black in colour. There are seven leaves on this flower, with seven different colours. If it is real, you need to give me the blue leaf and one black petal. However, according to the legend there is a side effect to it," says mouse deer.
"Ok, I'll bring them back." Without further delay, elephant goes up to the mountain to find the flower. The mountain is very steep, the elephant falls down several times while climbing up. However, he does not want to give up. Finally, he reaches the top of mountain and sees that special black flower. He quickly plucks the blue leaf and a black petal. On the way back, he misses a step and rolls down from the mountain. The elephant breaks one of his legs and he can't walk anymore. He shouts and shouts and finally there is a bird comes to him.
"Never mind about me, please pass this leaf and petal to mouse deer," says elephant.
The bird helps elephant to pass the things to mouse deer. The mouse deer mixes the blue leaf with black petal and pour the powder into the monkey's mouth. After a few minutes, monkey begins to breathe again...
The bird flies back to elephant to tell him the good news. Elephant is so happy that monkey is alive again. "Where is the monkey, why doesn't he come?" asks elephant.
"Eh... Did mouse deer tell you there is a side effect of the medicine? The monkey can't remember anything..."
Elephant is shocked, the monkey doesn't remember him anymore. However, he is still happy that the monkey is alive...
