|The Bhutan folktale "The Four Harmonious Friends" symbolizes interdependence, an epitome of friendship, cooperation, and good relations without considering hierarchy, strength, power or size. In the story, Elephant, Monkey, Rabbit, and Bird collaborate to plant a tree, protect it, and harvest the fruits.
