Crossing the River
On a regular day, the elephants had come out of the neighboring forest to approach the river. In this case, they had to cross a section of land before making it to the water. Almost all of the elephants were used to this practice, and they had no trouble crossing the land and muddy surface near the river. Unfortunately, one of the newest in the family hadn’t been warned about the muddy lands. He couldn’t be prepared for what would happen next.
Getting Across
Tumbling Baby
The little baby elephant, who was only a sixth of the size of his elders, wasn’t paying attention. He was crossing the muddy land with his family, unaware of the danger that lie ahead. While his parents easily stepped over a large hole in the earth, the baby elephant took one step too far and tumbled down into a muddy hole! Even though the baby was smaller than the rest, he still had enough weight to break the ground beneath him.
