Description

There was a big fat Elephant. He used to stand on four feet and doze every day after lunch. One afternoon, he was relaxing; his long trunk was hanging and swinging like a pendulum.A Tiger cub was passing by. He saw the swinging trunk and was tempted to bite at it. So he jumped, caught hold of the elephant's trunk and started swinging 'huii huii'. Elephant woke up immediately and was very angry. He lifted the tiger with his trunk, held the Tiger high in the air, swung and chucked the tiger in a near-by pool with a mighty force.Spashhhhhh, tiger fell into the pool, where a hungry crocodile was waiting with her jaws opened. As Tiger fell between her jaws, Crocodile chomped hard on it. The tiger got cut split into two halves. Two legs and the rear were in Crocodile's mouth, while Tiger's front kept swimming in the water, unaware of the rear half. With his blood, the pond water turned red.Elephant started walking after throwing the tiger away. Soon he came near the pool, to his dismay he found the tiger cut in two halves.Elephant was now very sorry & wanted to help the tiger. He ordered the crocodile, “open your mouth, Croc”. He dragged the rear half of the Tiger from her mouth.Elephant put Tiger's rear half on his back. Then he put Tiger's swimming front half on his back as well. On Elephant's back entire Tiger now rests, though cut into two separate pieces. Elephant wonders - how to put these pieces together.Elephant now set out in a search, to find someone who could put together two halves of the little dear tiger.He went to the weaver bird Babui & asked “Hi babui, can you please put these two together?” “No, I can't” – Babui said, “I use the straw as the thread to make the nest, but I can't sew the tiger. We need a sewing machine, to stitch Tiger's pieces together'.The tiger & Babui scratched their heads, what to do.....what to do?“Let's go to Nayan's place”, they decided. Babui sat on Elephant's head; flies a bit and shows the way to Nayan's place'. Elephant walks, with Tiger's halves, resting on the back, to Nayan's house.Elephant knocks at the door with his trunk. Nayan opened the door and 'wow' - he was surprised to find the guests; she had to break the door to let Elephant in.Elephant told Nayan what happened & begged and begged. At last Nayan agreed to help them. Nayan put a white cloth on the table & on that two Tiger halves were laid down.Nayan's mum Putum came, with the sewing machine. Tiger halves were put together, nicely joined by a Nayan's mum. “Would the stitched Tiger now be okay” asked the Elephant. Clever Nayan put milk bottle in the Tiger's mouth to see if there is any leak through the joint, just stitched. All OK, the tiger cub sucked on the milk bottle happily & fell asleep. Nayan had slept as Tiger had. Elephant fanned them with his trunk. Nayan had drunk milk from the bottle too. Nayan fell in deep sleep and so did Nayan's mum & dad.
