Rosa Goes to the City \r
By Amit Garg\r
In the middle of a big city, \r
there was a small zoo, \r
and inside \r
lived a baby elephant. \r
Her name was Rosa. \r
The zookeeper \r
loved little Rosa very much \r
and cared for her \r
in every possible way. \r
Many visitors came to see Rosa \r
and watched \r
in fascination \r
as she ate \r
a dozen bananas in one go. \r
Rosa was well looked after, \r
but she missed the company \r
of other elephants.\r
One day, \r
after feeding Rosa, \r
the keeper forgot to lock \r
the door of her cage. \r
Soon she was out of the zoo! \r
First, \r
she came across \r
an ice cream vendor \r
standing by the roadside. \r
He saw Rosa and ran away. \r
The curious little elephant \r
stuck her trunk \r
into the icebox. \r
Something tasted so cold, \r
sweet and delicious \r
that she simply \r
gulped it all down. \r
Rosa kept moving about, \r
her eyes \r
searching for someone. \r
Finally, \r
inside a shop, \r
she saw a herd of elephants \r
on a television screen. \r
“Friends!” she thought, \r
and marched into the TV shop. \r
Everybody inside the shop \r
ran out, \r
leaving her alone. \r
Rosa tried talking \r
to the elephants \r
on the TV screen, \r
but they didnt reply. \r
Confused \r
and disappointed, \r
she walked out.\r
Back on the street, \r
she saw a coconut-seller, \r
selling coconuts. \r
“Wow, Ive found a ball! \r
Its play time now!” \r
she cried and\r
kicked a coconut \r
high into the air. \r
It flew across the road \r
and landed \r
right beside a boy \r
playing in the park. \r
Rosa ran across the road, \r
determined to get \r
her coconut-ball. \r
Cars screeched, \r
buses honked, \r
and drivers began \r
to yell at each other. \r
Rosa had created \r
a traffic jam! \r
The traffic police \r
moved in to take control. \r
The zoo was informed. \r
Ignoring the commotion \r
around her, \r
Rosa simply ran into the park. \r
She stopped \r
in front of the little boy, \r
who was smiling at her. \r
He giggled \r
and patted the elephant. \r
Rosa trumpeted back \r
with excitement \r
at her newfound friend. \r
By now, \r
the zookeeper \r
had reached the park. \r
Seeing Rosa \r
in the open space of the park, \r
he understood \r
that she would never be happy \r
in a cage. \r
The zoo transferred Rosa \r
to a protected forest, \r
away from the city, \r
where many other elephants \r
roamed freely. \r
Rosa grew up very happily. \r
Now, \r
instead of watching \r
Rosa behind bars \r
in a cramped cage, \r
visitors could see her \r
among lots of trees, \r
still gulping down \r
dozens of bananas!\r
