Hi birds you are so cute. Are you enjoying watching us in the lake?: asked the baby elephant.
We are not enjoying seeing you in the lake. Your presence in the lake caused us immense disappointment and inconvenience. This lake has been of great help to us to cool down in this summer. Now we are afraid of entering the lake because of all of you.
After hearing the tiny sparrow the bay elephant too felt sad about their plight. It stood there for sometime watching all the birds.
It went back to the lake and joined the elephants. The birds watched helplessly.
In the lake, the baby elephant started crying. All the elephants stopped taking bath and circled the baby elephant and started enquiring:
What happened?
Is there a crocodile?
Did any one of us hurt you?
No: said the baby elephant. I want you all to watch at the bank of the lake.
All the elephants turned their heads towards the banks and were surprised to see the colourful birds watching back at them.
We are bad yelled the Baby elephants. We should not have caused inconvenience to these birds that are waiting to cool themselves in this summer by bathing in the lake like us. I spoke to them and they are all angry with us and since we are huge they are helpless.
Hearing this the grand parents of the baby elephant felt very proud of their grand child. They kissed the baby elephants and asked: Darling you have opened all our eyes we should not have caused any inconvenience to these birds, as they too need to chill out. Now we can go there and ask them to join us.
No. No. No. They are all afraid of us. The moment any one of you approach them they all will fly away in fear. I have an idea if you all agree we can follow that.
To this, again the grand parents kissed the baby elephant and cuddled it with their trunks.
We shall go a bit deep into the lake and leave the banks to the birds to take bath. We shall not disturb the birds in any way. Now we shall move in.
