"I will certainly help you", the fly said after hearing the events, "How can I be your friend, and yet not help you when you need me. I have a frog as a good friend, let us seek his help to destroy this wicked elephant." 
 
Thus, the female sparrow, woodpecker and the fly went to the frog, and explained him of all the events for which they had come to him for help. 
 
The old frog said after hearing everything, "The elephant is big, but he is alone. What can this elephant do, if we work together to destroy him? I have a plan!" 
 
He explained, "Fly! When the sun is scorching, your task would be to buzz in his ears. When he closes his eyes in sheer ecstasy, the woodpecker's task would be to peck his eyes and make him blind. In this scorching summer, he will certainly search for water, but being blinded already he will not be able to do so. I will then sit on the edge of the nearby pit and croak at the top of my voice."

The others agreed to the plan, and  of the tasks as laid by the old frog. 
 
They executed their tasks successfully, and the elephant fell into a muddy pit and was severely wounded.
