Missing Elephant Child

One fine morning a baby lion was walking in the forest. He was alone. He heard footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he saw an elephant. At first, he pretended that he didn’t see her. But wherever the lion was going, the elephant was following him.

Finally, the baby lion stopped and asked the elephant why she was following him. She didn’t reply but stood there like a statue. When the baby lion started to walk again, she was behind him, closely following him. She was annoying the baby lion. So the baby lion asked the elephant why she was following him.

The elephant told the baby lion her sad story about her missing child a few days back. She doesn’t know where her child has gone. The elephant baby was of the same age as the baby lion. When she saw the baby lion, she thought of her child.

Touched by the mother elephant’s sad story, the lion promised the elephant that he could help her to find the missing elephant.

The baby lion searched for the missing child everywhere. He went to North, South, East, and West, but there was no sign of the missing child. The baby lion asked the mother elephant about her child’s favorite food. She said he loved to eat sugarcane very much. Ah, he is a sugarcane lover.

As a final option, the baby lion went to a place where plenty of sugarcane was growing. As soon as he reached that place, he heard a feeble weep. The baby lion saw the missing elephant child crying for her mother. He took the child to her mother. The mother elephant was happy to receive her child back and thanked the baby lion for his great help.
