Kariba

One sunny day, two big animals are walking in the field. The first animal said, "Do you see what I see?" "What?... Where?!" replied the second animal. "There are three small animals stuck in the soft soil. Let's help them!" The second animal said, "They are humans. They are the same ones whipping us in the previous days. Why do you want to help them?" The first animal whispered, "This is the only way I find so they can treat us better." The two big animals approached the three kids, extending their snouts, but the children can't reach them. The two big animals stepped on the soft soil and used their bodies to help the children extricate from the mud. The children were saved and left the field. On the same day, rains poured on the field. The two big animals weighing 10,000 pounds each were left in the mud, struggling for three days. On the fourth day, the children went back to the field and were shocked seeing the two elephants still in the mud. They called their parents for help and their parents called Kariba.
