iven below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them w
hile answering some of the questions.
Once upon a time, there lived a herd of elephants at the bottom of the majestic
Himalayas. Their leader was a rare white elephant who was an extremely kindheart
ed soul. He greatly loved his mother who had grown blind and feeble and could no
t look out for herself. Each day this white elephant would go deep into the fore
st in search of food. He would look for the best of fruits to send to his mother
through other elephants of the herd. But his mother never received any. This wa
s because the other members of the herd would always eat them up themselve. Each
night, when he returned home he would be surprised to hear that his mother had
been starving all day. He was absolutely disgusted with his herd. Then one day,
he decided to leave them all behind and disappeared in the middle of the night a
long with his dear mother. He took her to Mount Candorana to live in a cave besi
des a beautiful lake.
It so happened that one day, when the white elephant was feeding, he heard loud
cries. A forester from Benaras had lost his way in the forest and was absolutely
terrified. The white elephant told him not to worry as he knew every inch of th
is forest and could take him to safety. He then lifted him on to his back and ca
rried him to the edge of the forest from where the forester went on his merry wa
y back to Benaras.
On reaching the city, he heard that King s personal elephant had just died and the
King was looking for a new elephant. His heralds were roaming the city, announc
ing that any man who had seen or heard of an elephant fit for a king should come
forward with the information. The forester was very excited and immediately wen
t up to the King and told him about the white elephant that he had seen on Mount
Candorana. The King was quite pleased with the information and immediately disp
atched a number of soldiers and elephant trainers along with the forester. After
travelling for many days, the group reached the lake besides which the elephant
s resided. They slowly crept down to the edge of the lake and hid behind the bus
hes. The white elephant was collecting lotus shoots for his mother s meal and coul
d sense the presence of humans. When he looked up, he spotted the forester and r
ealized that it was he who had led the King s men to him. He was very upset at the
ingratitude but decided not to put up a struggle as many of the men would be ki
lled. And he was just too kind to hurt anyone. So he decided to go along with th
em to Benaras and then seek a solution to this problem.
On reaching the beautiful city of Benaras, the trainers laid out a feast for the
ir new State elephant but he refused to touch a morsel. He did not respond to an
y kind of stimuli, be it the fragrant flowers or the beautiful and comfortable s
table. He just sat there looking completely despondent. The King was extremely
concerned. He offered the elephant food from the royal table and asked him why h
e grieved in this manner. The white elephant replied that he would not eat a thi
ng until he met his mother back home on Mount Candorana as she must be hungry be
cause she was blind and had no one to feed her and take care of her. He was afra
id that she would die. The compassionate King was touched by the elephant s story
and assured him that his soldiers would bring his old mother to the palace as so
on as possible. The king kept his promise and his soldiers took good care of his
mother as well for as long as she lived. She blessed the kind King with peace,
prosperity and joy till the end of his days. In this way the white elephant coul
d serve the king and also enjoy the royal perks at the king s palace along with hi
s mother.
