Bhunte: The baby elephant

Days are not good, over there at the edge of that forest and beyond it! Bhunte came across the long metallic tendrils, intertwined to each-other demarcating the end of his home. It is dangerous; it burns the body! He had heard from his herd members and other herds that recently  half a dozen of their relatives lost their lives by touching this tendril. The most bereaving of them all was the one where his distant aunt died and she was pregnant. Everyone lamented over the loss. Bhunte’s mom has instructed him to never touch that tendril. Now and then, when they have to cross over the forests; they throw wooden logs over it to cut the connection. Sometime, some tusker brothers used their tusks to uproot the poles connecting such tendril. They call it- The wire of death!
