“No way!” my friends cried out incredulously as they saw the car.
“I swear I rode this here from the village,” I asserted.
“Sure,” said my elder brother, “and the moon does not get eaten by the sun every morning.”
I almost broke into tears at this taunt.
And then, suddenly, I saw it, or rather, him, and I knew my problem was solved.
“If you don’t believe me,” I said, “ask him. I rammed the car into him to stop the car.”
They all turned expectantly towards the newcomer.
“Yes,” said Haathi, the elephant resignedly, “Mowgli speaks the truth!”

Thank you so much Kalpana.
Mowgli, you reckless driver!
Ha ha ha, he was trying it for the first time, to be fair, that too in order to get back to his beloved friends in the jungle.
it looks like the car had no much for an elephant. 🙂
It was not 🙂
There is always an elephant in the room, when you need one. Nice piece of humour.
Dear Anurag,
Those pesky man cubs. Clever story that made me smile.
