AMAZING ELEPHANTS OF ANDAMAN!

My family and I went to Andamans during our holidays. At Andamans we stayed in a cottage at a small resort called Bare Foot. In the resort there was an elephant named Rajan. Next to the resort there was a beach. Once when we went to the beach we saw Rajan swimming in the sea. His head was inside the water and his trunk was out so that he could breathe. It was amazing to see him splash his trunk in the waves. Later in the evening we thought we could feed Rajan. But Rajan was not well and had stepped on a thorn. We could see tears come down his eyes. The person who looked after him said that we could not feed him for he has to eat only leaves to get better. The next day we went to an elephant show in a beach. There a person said we could feed them. But when I fed the baby elephant the big elephant pushed his trunk forward to get the banana from me. I held the banana and walked away, and the elephant ran behind me to get the banana. When the elephant man took out the chains the elephants rushed and jumped into the water. The mummy elephant fetched water by her trunk and sprayed it on the baby elephant. We saw an elephant take a stick and brush his teeth. I rode on an elephant and I felt scared and excited I was really really scared and felt as if I was sliding down his back when the elephant knelt and then sat down .I jumped down and patted the elephant’s back. I did not know that elephants were so smart. They actually made me think they are smarter than me.

SAVE ME!

WHY DO YOU KILL ME ?
WHAT HAVE I DONE ?
WHY DON’T YOU LET ME JUST HAVE SOME FUN ?
YOU HUNT ME ALL MORNING,
YOU HUNT ME ALL NIGHT;
I DON’T WANT TO HAVE A FIGHT!

WHO IS THE FIFTEENTH ONE?

Dhruv’s birth day party was on Sunday. He told his mother that there were going to be fifteen friends in the party.
Mother gave fifteen invites to Dhruv and said, “Dhruv give these invites to your friends.”
“Ok mummy.” said Dhruv and took all the invites to school.
On the party day mother had put up lots of decorations and she had made yummy snacks.
The birth day cake had the picture of Mickey mouse and seven candles on it.
Mother served fifteen plates and one for the birth day boy.
After playing games everyone took a plate filled with snacks. But there was no one to take the last plate.
Mother looked around, but every one had their plates. Mother asked Dhruv, “Where is the fifteenth friend Dhruv?”
Dhruv counted all of them and said, “Mother, there are fifteen friends.”
Mother wondered.. “Where is the fifteenth friend?”
“I am the fifteenth one mother! How could you forget ME- the birth day boy?”
Mother laughed and said “Happy birth day my smart son!”
