An elephant and a crocodile were once standing beside a river. They were disputing as to which was the better animal. “Look at my strength,” said the elephant. “I can tear up a tree, roots and all, with my trunk.” “Ah! But quantity is not quality, and your skin is not nearly as tough as mine,” replied the crocodile, “for neither spear, arrow, nor sword can pierce it.” Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass. “Good day, sirs!” said His Majesty, going up to them, “Tell me the cause of your quarrel.” “Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal?” cried both at once. “Certainly!” said the lion. “Do you see that soldier’s steel shield on that wall?” pointing across the river. “Yes!” replied both beasts. “Well, then,” continued the lion, “go and fetch it, and bring it to me, and I shall be able then to decide between you.” Upon hearing this, off they started. The crocodile, being used to the water, reached the opposite bank of the river first. Here he waited until the elephant came up. Seeing that the crocodile was low to the ground, the elephant extended his long trunk, and reached the shield quite easily. They then made their way together back again across the river. The elephant, anxious to keep up with the crocodile in the water, forgot that he was carrying the shield on his back, and a sudden lurch caused the prize to slip off and sink to the bottom. The crocodile noticed the accident, so down he dove, and brought it up in his capacious mouth. When they returned, and the crocodile laid the shield at the lion’s feet. His Majesty took up the shield, and said to the elephant, “You, on account of your size and trunk, were able to reach the prize on the wall but, having lost it, you were unable to recover it." "And you,” said the lion, turning to the crocodile, “although you were unable to reach the shield, you were able to dive for it and save it in your large jaw. You are both wise and clever in your respective ways. Neither is better than the other.” What is the theme of this passage?
