Analysis of The three elephants
My dearest child, let me tell you a tale about three elephants that were rustled from the beautiful savannas of Africa and chained together here for sixteen years.
The biggest one was the mother, the others sister and brother.
One day a very rich Indian man, happened to visit this tiny village and he noticed how cruely the elephants had been treated, scared and brutalised. And he made it his fateful vow to free the elephants and he took them with him to the Ganges where they wondered into the river and worshiped Ganesha himself.
