Chhoti and Bade

Chhoti used to love being outdoors. Everyday she would walk through the fields talking and singing to the crops and birds.

One day she entered the forest. In the forest she could hear a lot of birds chirping and also some animal sounds.

As Chhoti walked through the forest, she saw a huge footprint on the ground. It was so big that both her feet could fit into the print and there was still some extra space.

For a brief moment she got really scared! She wondered which animal could be so big and huge. She started thinking about dark and scary things.

Then all of a sudden, in the distance, Chhoti saw Bade- the elephant. He was really big. This footprint was surely his.

Bade walked up to Chhoti and nudged her with his trunk to say Hello. Chhoti had never seen such kind eyes before

Bade lifted Chhoti on to his back and they went for a long walk through the forest. From that day onwards each day Chhoti would sit on Bade's back and they would discover the forest together.
