Rosa escapes from the zoo and wanders about the city looking for someone. Want to join in her adventures?
Elephant Goes to the City
By Amit Garg
In the middle of a big city,
there was a small zoo,
and inside lived
a baby elephant.
Her name was Rosa.
The zookeeper
loved little Rosa very much
and cared for her
in every possible way.
Many visitors
came to see Rosa
and watched in fascination
as she ate
a dozen bananas in one go.
Rosa was
well looked after,
but she missed
the company of other elephants.
One day,
after feeding
Rosa,
the keeper forgot
to lock the door of her cage.
Soon she was out of the zoo!
First,
she came across
an ice cream vendor
standing by the
roadside.
He saw Rosa
and ran away.
The curious little elephant
stuck her trunk
into the icebox.
Something tasted so cold,
sweet, and delicious
that she simply
gulped it all down.
Rosa kept moving about,
her eyes
searching for someone.
Finally,
inside a shop,
she saw a herd of elephants
on a television screen.
“Friends!”
she thought, and marched into the TV shop.
Everybody
inside the shop
ran out,
leaving her alone.
Rosa tried talking
to the elephants on the TV screen,
but they didn’t reply.
Confused and disappointed,
she walked out.
Back on the street,
she saw a coconut-seller,
selling coconuts.
“Wow,
I’ve found a ball!
It’s play time now!”
she cried and kicked
a coconut high into the air.
It flew across
the road
and landed right
beside a boy
playing in the park.
Rosa ran across the road,
determined to get
her coconut-ball.
Cars screeched,
buses
honked,
and drivers began
to yell at each other.
Rosa
had created a traffic jam!
The traffic police
moved in
to take control.
The zoo was informed.
Ignoring the commotion
around her,
Rosa simply
ran into the park.
She stopped in front of the little boy,
who was smiling at her.
He giggled
and patted the elephant.
Rosa
trumpeted back
with excitement
at her newfound friend.
By now,
the zookeeper
had reached
the park.
Seeing Rosa in the open space
of the park,
he understood that she
would never be happy in a cage.
The zoo transferred Rosa
to a protected forest,
away from the city,
where many other elephants
roamed freely.
Rosa grew up very happily.
Now,
instead of watching Rosa
behind bars
in a cramped cage,
visitors could see her
among lots of trees,
still gulping down
dozens of bananas!
