Dusk entered tip-toeing through the canopy of the forest. Bhunte was tired of all plays with his buddies. He trumpeted bye to all and walked towards his herd who were little away and foraging. When he crossed a mud hill, he saw a small rodent jumping in and out. He sniffed with his trunk and got curious. His tiredness vanished as he started closing the holes on the ground with one foot and another. He enjoyed this! He happily started closing one hole after another to catch the rodent. This tiny rodent too was enjoying the game and was making Bhunte more playful by peeping out of the hole where Bhunte could not reach. Bhunte started pushing the mud with his trunk. It was getting darker. Bhunte was engrossed in his game. He felt a gentle tap behind him and turned around to find an elephant-headed boy standing next to him. He got surprised. The boy had an aura and light all around him. “Bhunte, did you trouble my Musakraj?” the boy smiled and tapped Bhunte. Bhunte trumpeted “No, not at all, I was enjoying the game”. Bhunte came to know the name of a tiny rodent. “Musakraj”, he thought. “I have come to visit some of my folks, I will be here for 10 days, chant my name if you wish to meet me again. They call me Ganesha”. Bhunte was glad. He got two new friends again.
As he was thinking, the light disappeared and Ganesha too. All he could see was some fireflies quarrelling over who will reach the moon first, on that Acacia tree. In front of him, he could see his mother sniffing towards him. And beyond the forest, a huge Tusker uncle was being chased by the villagers. What a scene he thought and he walked towards his mother.
