Bhunte as always started throwing tantrums to his mom. He nagged about not liking those grasses. He said these do not taste delicious. His mom thumped her trunk and said ‘Do you know Charuka aunty?’. ‘No!’ ‘Well, she lives in Sri Lanka and gave birth to Budhika, recently! She is lactating and you know, Charuka with her sisters and Budhika were seen eating human garbage and plastic! You must feel proud that you are eating the grasses and that your home is not disturbed by humans! So stop throwing tantrums, pull those grasses and eat them all!’ Bhunte was shocked to hear about Budhika and others. Without complaining a bit, he ate the grasses! Not all elephants are lucky! A few fail and a few learn to survive! Bhunte still could not believe that his relatives are munching on garbage!
