This post is for the Sometimes Stellar Storyteller’s Six Word Story Challenge. This week’s theme is insult.
Thick skinned? He’d had to be.
I didn’t really know what picture I was going to use to illustrate this six word story until I went hunting around on Pixabay. Then I entered the search term ‘thick skinned’ and elephant pictures appeared.
Perfect!
One of my favoured Disney films as a child was always Dumbo. The beginning, when he was being picked on and insulted because of his big ears always made me cry.

Dumbo came good in the end! Or did he, I can’t remember. In any case, great little tale!

Yes, Dumbo proved himself eventually, when he flew around the circus tent and became a bit of a media sensation. I’m glad you liked my little tale, Ali. 🙂

I thought he was okay. I was getting him confused with with Bambi’s mum.

Oh! Okay! I don’t think I saw that movie but it was sad to hear he was bullied because of his big ears.

Dumbo is a really sweet film – the shortest Disney animation, I believe. He’s bullied because of his big ears but then learns that he can use them to fly. 🙂
