一只猫头鹰住在树上。一只大象常到树下过夜。久而久之，他们成了好朋友。 一天晚上，大象寻找食物的时候，误闯入魔鬼的聚会。 看到大象，魔王大喊起来：“就是他，就是他丨,， "大王，他是谁?”他的随从问。 ‘‘昨天晚上，我梦见自己吃了一头大象。"魔王说,‘‘跟这头大象很像。抓住他给我吃，好让我梦想成真。” 魔鬼们抓住了大象。他已经吓得不知如何反抗了。魔王在王后的陪同下，龇牙咧嘴地向他走来。大象的腿开始发软。 突然，他的朋友，猫头鹰飞扑下来，尖叫着:"就是她，就是她丨"然后落在大象的脑袋上。 魔王停了下来。 "你是指谁，鸟儿?”他咆哮着。 ‘‘是王后。”猫头鹰说，“我昨晚梦见跟她结婚了。请让我们结婚，好让我梦想成真。" "我绝不可能嫁给一只猫头鹰丨”王后喊道。 “没有人让你嫁给他,亲爱的。”对她十分敬畏的魔王说，"梦是不能当真的。看，这就是我在梦里吃掉的那头大象，但现在我放他走。" 大象跌跌撞撞地走了，并喃喃地说着谢谢朋友之类的话。 Dreams An owl had its home in a tree under which an elephant used ；to：Dend the night.
