Their lives and their conditions at a time when they can not get rid of it because it is the gift of the king, who must respect and appreciation of his gift.

and it Is a tale originally from the ancient Indian tradition. In ancient India, they used to call the Maharaja a person when he reached a certain rank of wealth, that is, a title that is not obtained by man for a particular origin or breed, but when he has the money And wealth and property a certain level of wealth, and thus the Maharaja, who loses his money and wealth for any reason, automatically withdraws his title, to return like other ordinary people, or to transfer the low-end, so return to the rich riches that qualify for this title again!
It is also said that the "Maharajawat" group there was careful not to enter their private club only those who are satisfied with it and want it, and when circumstances want to enrich someone against their will, for some reason, become a mahroja and they do not want it, But they do not have a way to get rid of it and return it to its original place, but to pretend to celebrate it for joining the group, among the activities of the celebration to give him a white villa.
The elephant, which is a rare species, is a sacred animal in India. According to ancient Indian traditions, this elephant is not allowed to be made like other elephants for loading and riding. Rather, it is treated like a goddess of gods. It must live in a special place and provide it with plenty of vegetables And fruit in a time of gold and silver, and to make him who takes care of him and based on his service and take care of his affairs!
Because this novice Maharaja is new to this wonderful life and wants to prove his fitness and entitlement to the new status, he is quick to accept this holy elephant which can not be repaid and pledged to sponsor it!
Over time, this new mihrajah finds itself in the problem of spending heavily on this holy elephant, and soon discovers that it has spent its wealth and money on his care, so that he has no money to qualify for the title of Maharaja, to find himself returned to his former social class, and does not escape From the white elephant trap only the owners of really big wealth!
This story is used in our time as an administrative lesson, where it is said that Vlana received a white villa as a gift, meaning that the white elephant gave him really wanted to occupy him with this burden and heavy load, trapped in a trap that burns his effort and energy, and fails his endeavors
