The 'you can't eat an elephant in one bite' story is all about the concept of taking things gradually. Consider a business trying to expand globally. It can't just suddenly cover all markets around the world at once. It has to first target a few key regions, establish a presence there, learn from the experience, and then gradually move on to other areas. This story is a great way to teach us to be realistic about what we can achieve in one go and to plan our efforts in a more sensible and achievable way.
Well, this story mainly tells us not to be over - ambitious in a short time. For example, if you want to learn a whole new language which is like the 'elephant', you have to start with basic grammar, vocabulary, etc. which are the small 'bites'. It's a reminder that patience and a phased approach are key to achieving complex things.
In daily life, it can be applied when doing house cleaning. You can't clean the whole messy house in one action. Start from one room at a time.
One situation could be in a community. There might be a person who is always complaining and making a big fuss about small things, like a barking dog. But when it comes to actually doing something harmful or causing real trouble, they don't. Another situation is in a political context. Politicians might make a lot of grand statements and threats, but often they don't follow through with extreme actions. And in a sports context, a team that trash - talks a lot before a game may not necessarily perform better or be more aggressive during the actual game, similar to the concept of the barking dog seldom biting.
It might suggest that there's some credibility or evidence that can no longer be ignored or dismissed easily.

It might mean someone is at their limit and about to give in or something is on the verge of collapse or failure.
Well, it might mean that in a particular true story, there is a character or entity that is so determined or has such a hold over someone that escaping is not an option. For example, in a story of a criminal chasing a victim where the events are based on true happenings, this statement could be relevant.
It could imply that in the context of a fanfiction, certain characters are not worthy of the main character or the object of affection. Maybe they've wronged the person in some way within the fictional story's plot.
It implies that every individual has a unique dream. For example, an athlete may dream of winning an Olympic gold. And if they get that one chance, like getting selected for the Olympics, they can strive towards achieving their dream. It's about seizing the single opportunity to fulfill a personal aspiration.
Well, in storytelling, such concepts are avoided because they are morally repugnant and could have a negative impact on the audience, especially children. It's important to convey positive and protective messages regarding children.
The story 'Can't change a fox's nature' suggests that certain core aspects of an individual are ingrained and not easily transformed. It might refer to someone's tendency to be sly or cunning, and the idea is that such traits are deeply rooted and unlikely to be altered significantly.
