An important Advice

Once upon an elephant calf was born her name was Emmy. The moment she was born her father had to go on a patrol to check for wolves and other carnivores. Half-An-Hour passed and there was no reply from the father elephant. Mama elephant knew that if she left Emmy alone, she may be attacked by carnivores, but Mama elephant had no other choice. She hid Emmy in a large trunk and told her not to get out and went in the search for his father. The baby elephant was eager to take a peek outside, so she got out of the trunk. But then she realized that she wasn’t able to walk or even stand. Soon two rabbits entered her home and started to jump on her belly! Emmy started wiggling with anger. “Stop! you are hurting me!” she said. “Oh, we are sorry we just like your belly… It’s just perfect to jump on! Anyway, what’s your name?” the rabbit asked Emmy. “Emmy… and what’s yours?” Emmy asked shyly. “My name is Rick, and there is my young sister Lily! and I love her!” the rabbit said bravely. Emmy started chuckling. “What’s so funny about it?” the rabbit asked disappointedly. “Nothing!” Emmy said still chuckling. Rick looked at his sister Lily who was nibbling his tail! “It is my sister, isn’t it?” Rick asked Emmy. Emmy burst into laughter. “Ha-ha whatever! Do want to play with me” Rick asked Emmy happily. Emmy immediately replied, “No! my mother told me not to go outside the house!”. “I will protect you I promise!” Rick said solemnly. “You are so small! how can you protect me!?” Emmy said giggling. “Hey! don’t you say like that! I am old enough!” Rick said angrily. “How old are you than me? Ha-Ha” Emmy said still laughing. Rick shouted angrier than ever “You shouldn’t ask anyone’s age! Especially when they are older! It’s very rude!”. Before Rick could continue Emmy said, “Ok-Ok. Don’t be so angry I will play with you”. Emmy was scared at first but later on, she forgot all about her mother’s advice and happily started playing with Rick and Lily. Later, they were distracted by a disturbance in a nearby bush. “Rick I was looking for you and your sister! I told you not to wander off in the jungle! and who is this little fella?” said someone who sounded like Rick and Lily’s mother and indeed it was. “Mother I am sorry… By-the-way this is Emmy the elephant,” Rick said. “Good afternoon Emmy! I am sorry but Rick and Lily are going home now. You should also go home your mother must be worried,” said Rick, and Lily’s mother hopping away. Emmy was gonna go home but she had forgotten the way! at the same time, she heard a growl! it sounded like a hungry pack of wolves. Emmy was scared. She didn’t know what to do when she heard a loud voice coming from behind her. “Hey, you dirty eaters! do you want to fight!” said the voice. It was Emmy’s Father and Mother! They had found her! Emmy was very happy. Emmy’s father asked her to hide behind his leg just if the wolves wouldn’t back off but listening to the father elephant they ran away as fast as they could and were out of sight in no time! Emmy’s mother became serious and reminded Emmy of her advice when she left the house. Emmy was quite sad that she didn’t follow it, but she was overjoyed that her parents found her. From that day on she wouldn’t go anywhere without her parents. She would go out and play with her friends only when she was allowed. Emmy learned her lesson, but she wants to know… Have you?…
