After two days, he sees the elephant and runs after it. But the elephant runs so fast that the young man can’t catch it. The elephant runs to avoid the young man from morning to night.

Help lost dogs and cats. Some dogs or cats have no home. They live and eat on the street. When you see them, give food and water to them or take some of them home to keep them as your pets. They must thank you and be friends with you.
