The Brave Elephant Who Saved a Village
Deep in the lush forests of India, there lived a mighty elephant named Bhanu. He was not just strong—he was wise and loved by all the animals in the jungle. His massive footsteps echoed through the trees, and wherever he walked, the little animals followed, knowing that Bhanu always protected them.
One summer, the forest suffered a terrible drought. The rivers dried up, the leaves turned brown, and the animals struggled to find water. Even the humans in the nearby village, Nandipur, were desperate for help.
One morning, Bhanu noticed something unusual—a tiny squirrel named Chintu racing toward him. "Bhanu! Bhanu!" Chintu squeaked, "The river in the village is drying up completely! The people and animals will have nothing to drink!"
Bhanu closed his eyes and thought deeply. Then, he lifted his strong trunk and trumpeted loudly, calling all the animals together.
“We must dig,” Bhanu said. “If we dig deep into the earth near the dried riverbed, we might find water below.”
The animals weren’t sure—could they really dig deep enough? But they trusted Bhanu.
So, the elephants stomped and dug, the monkeys helped move dirt, the buffalo pushed heavy rocks aside, and even the tiny rabbits scratched at the earth.
Hours passed, then days. The villagers saw what was happening and joined the animals. With shovels and teamwork, they worked as one—human and animal, side by side.
Then, one hot afternoon, something magical happened. As Bhanu pressed his powerful tusks deep into the ground—water gushed out!
The village cheered. The animals roared. Bhanu had found a hidden underground stream, saving both the forest and the people!
From that day on, Bhanu was no longer just an elephant—he was a legend. The villagers built a statue in his honor, and animals from far and wide came to listen to his wisdom.
And whenever the wind rustled the jungle leaves, the animals whispered his name with respect: Bhanu, the Guardian of Water.
The End.
