大象认输。从前哪，有一只大象，认为自己是世界上最大的动物。于是，他就在自己的家门口挂了一张旗子，上面写着世界最大的动物。这时，一只猴子跑过来，说：大象，你不是世界上最大的动物，蓝鲸比你大几十倍呢。于是，猴子带大象去了海边。他们好不容易爬上了一个小岛，大象说：蓝鲸在哪里呀？世界上根本没有蓝鲸这种动物！大象正说着，脚下的小岛动了起来，哎呀，不好，大象一脚踩空，掉到了海里。猴子拼命地喊：救命呀！救命呀！大象落水了！原来，他们踩得不是小岛，是蓝鲸的背呀！蓝鲸慢慢地把大象和猴子拖上了岸，蓝鲸说：呵呵，大象，我刚才听到你说的话，你说世界上没有蓝鲸，我就是蓝鲸啊！大象羞红了脸。蓝鲸说：忘了说了，我的身体有七间房子那么大。猴子说：你说错了，大象，蓝鲸也跟我们一样，是哺乳动物。大象羞得脸更红了。知识链接：从这个故事，我知道了不能骄傲。还知道了世界上最大的动物是蓝鲸，他也是哺乳动物哦，他有七间房子那么大，要是和我们幼儿园比呀，蓝鲸可真大呀！
