- BRINGING UP KARIWritten by Dhan Gopal Mukerji
- Every morning, I take Kari to the river for a bath
- Then we would go to the forest where I would cut tender stems of Kari
- I was 9 years old when i got Kari, a five month old baby elephant
- One day, I was cutting the young stems of the banyan tree, when I heard Kari calling out to me.
- Kari helped me save the drowning boy by curling his trunk around our necks and bringing me and the boy onto the shore
- I ran and I saw Kari's trunk in the river. When she saw me she started tooting. I though she drowning, but I couldn'r help her beecause I couldn't bear her weight.
- Oh My God!!Kari is drowning
- Kari swam to the shore and pulled me into the water with his trunk. I saw a little boy lying underwater close to the river bed.
- Like a little child, Kari had to be trained to be good.
- Once, someone gave Kari bananas. Fter tasting the bananas, Kari had developed a taste for bananas
- My parents first blamed me of stealing the bananas and then the servants.
- Soon, all the bananas were kept on the dining table. The bananas kept dissapearing in my house.
- One day, I was sitting at the dining table, when I saw a long black snake like thing coming through the window and grabbed the bananads
- I was frightened and ran out of the house, because i had never seen a snake that ate bananas
- i pulled Kari's ear and scolded him as I knew he would understand when I speak to him. After that Kari never stole anything from the dining table
- I ran to Kari's pavilion to make sure he was okay. When i entered, i saw bananas strewn on the floor and Kari eating them!
- Similarly, they are taught that pulling their trunk and saying "Mali" means to walk forward.
- Just like a child, an elephant has to be taught to sit down, walk, go fast and walk slow.
- An elephant takes 5 years to learn the master call, which is a strange hissing noise. The elephant care taker uses this sound so the elephant can recognize him.
- Elephants are taught to sit by saying 'Dhat' and pulling them by the ear.
- When the elephant's master uses the master call, the elephant knows that his master needs help
- The end
- When the master is lost in the forest and makes the master call, the elephant makes a pathj throught the forest by pulling the trees in front of it from where the master is to his house.
