Bucha found a confidant

Bucha is the name of an elephant in the circus. It is gentle and gentle, and it is very pleasing to the small circus audience. It spins and dances, and then suddenly lies on the ground and pretends to be dead, which spoils the children. At the end of the circus, Bucha carried the flag with his nose and walked ahead.

But one day, Bucha was uncharacteristically unwilling to dance, play dead, and carry the flag. He tried to trample the trainer to death three times a week. He also yelled "wow wow" at the children who kindly threw things for him to eat, and seemed to want to stomp them into meat.

People tried all kinds of methods, but Bucha was still furious and did not change. In the end, city officials told the circus owner: "Bucha is a dangerous animal and should be put to death immediately."

It costs a lot of money to domesticate an elephant in a circus. So the boss had an idea and decided to sell tickets to let everyone see the execution of Bucha. In this way, he can use the money he earns to buy another baby elephant.

On Saturday morning, the circus tent was packed with hundreds of spectators, the shooters were rifles in hand, everything was ready, and Bucha circled the cage with unusually heavy steps and sometimes raised his long nose. A few roars, it seemed to know that its end was coming.

Outside the cage, the beast trainer was ready to give orders to shoot. This was Butcha's last "performance".

Just then, a small man with glasses squeezed from the crowd to the boss.

"Can you save it from dying?" the little man asked.

"No, because it can hurt people at any time. We tried our best to make it quiet, there's really nothing we can do!"

"Let me go in and stay with it for a while. In two minutes, I will be able to prove that your judgment is wrong."

The boss glanced at him worriedly.

"I'm afraid you'll be dead in two minutes!"

"I knew you would say that," the little man smiled, "so I brought Wenqi with me, and it said: 'All consequences are at my own risk.'"

The boss took Wenqi and saw that it was indeed written on it. He turned to face the audience and reported an astonishing news: A bold gentleman is ready to enter the cage!

The little man quickly took off his shirt and hat and said calmly, "Open the cage door."

Bucha stopped, his red eyes fixed on the cage door, and his body trembled. The little man walked calmly into the cage with empty hands - he had neither a gun nor a stick, and then gently closed the cage door.

Bucha let out a roar, and the little man didn't avoid it, only to see words in his mouth. The elephant suddenly quieted down as if possessed, but his eyes were still very alert. People were stunned, they couldn't understand what he was saying, and Bucha seemed to be listening to his words and meditating.

Gentle words gurgled out of his mouth, and Bucha's body gradually stopped trembling. Suddenly, Bucha called softly, his voice was full of mischief and sadness, and he shook his big head from side to side from time to time. The little man stepped forward and patted Bucha's long nose with his hand. Then Bucha took his arm with his nose, and the two started scattered in the cage. The audience all stood up and cheered loudly.

Finally, the little man came out of the cage. "Bucha is not sick," he said to the boss. "He just misses home. His hometown is in India. I just talked to him in Hindi, and he has been used to hearing Hindi since he was a child, so as soon as I said it, his pimple came off, and now he is all right, it's all right!"

The little man didn't seem to notice the hand extended to him by the boss. Maybe he didn't bother to shake hands with a greedy man who made black money by executing elephants, so he turned and left. The stunned boss glanced at the Vinci in his hand again, and was taken aback. It turned out that the name of the great British writer Kipling was signed on it. "He is Kipling!" The boss waved the piece of paper and shouted and chased, but the quick-moving little man was long gone.

The crowd stirred, and the children immediately remembered Kipling's children's stories, the amorous golden peacock, the kind red fox, and the wise white-necked duck. The adults smiled and fell into thought, and a woman whispered: "No wonder this little old man's work is full of sincere love for children and animals. Today he risked his life to save the life of an elephant."
