Bringing Up Kari
Süžeeskeem Tekst
- I came to the surface of the water to take my breath and there Kari was standing, his feet planted in the sand bank and his trunk stretched out like a hand waiting for mine. I dived down again and pulled the body of the drowning boy to the surface but, not being a good swimmer, I could not swim to ashore and the slow current was already dragging me down.

- I saw him stretch out his trunk again. I raised up my hand to catch it and it slipped. I found myself going under the water again, but this time I found that the water was not very deep so I sank to the bottom of the river and doubled my feet under me and then suddenly kicked the river bed and so shot upwards like an arrow, in spite of the fact that I was holding the drowning boy with my hand.
- As my body rose above the water, I felt a lasso around my neck. This frightened me; I thought some water animal was going to swallow me.I heard Kari squealing, and I knew it was his trunk about my neck. He pulled us both to ashore.
- Kari was like a baby. He had to be trained to be good and if you did not tell him when he was naughty, he was up to more mischief than ever.For instance, one day, somebody gave him some bananas to eat. Very soon he developed a great love for ripe bananas.
- If you are lost with an elephants, it could make a path even, he is frightened.Then the elephant pulls down the next tree and the next,and the next. Soon you will find that he has made a road right through the jungle straight to your house.
