This is a story where I would like to use a horse character, such as a black stallion, instead of the White Elephant. There are many uses for a horse that helps mankind just as the elephant figured out how he could help out the workers. I need to think a little bit about the setting so I put the horse in a workable condition where he would work best. I imagine something like at a farm where a nice looking strong horse is trapped or hurt and the farmers see him just in time to save him. The horse then promises to help them for their generosity and introduces his young son, a black stallion. After working for the farmers, just as his father did, a King happens to stroll through the small village of farmers and notices the black stallion. Then he negotiates a price for the stallion.
