Chapter 1: The Gentle Giant of the Forest
In the heart of a lush, green forest, there lived a majestic elephant named Golu. He was the biggest and strongest of all the animals, but unlike other elephants who might boast about their strength, Golu was humble, kind, and always ready to help.
All the small animals of the forest admired him. Whenever a young rabbit got lost, Golu would guide it home. If the river ran dry, he would dig deep with his strong tusks to find water. He was not just the largest animal in the jungle; he had the largest heart too.
But one little animal didn’t quite understand Golu’s kindness—Tinu, the mischievous monkey.
Chapter 2: Tinu’s Trickery
Tinu loved playing pranks on everyone. He would steal fruits from the parrots, tease the rabbits, and throw nuts at the deer.
One day, Tinu decided to play a prank on Golu. He climbed up a tree and dropped a coconut on Golu’s head. The coconut bounced off, and Tinu burst into laughter.
Instead of getting angry, Golu simply smiled and said,
“Tinu, pranks can be fun, but kindness is even more fun. Try it someday!”
Tinu was confused. Why wasn’t Golu mad? But before he could think too much, an unexpected danger arrived in the forest…
Chapter 3: The Hunters Arrive
Deep in the forest, a group of hunters set up traps to catch animals. They laid out nets, dug pits, and even put tasty fruits as bait to lure the innocent creatures.
Bittu, the shy deer, was searching for food when he saw a pile of fresh apples near a bush. Excited, he rushed towards them. But the moment he stepped forward, SNAP! The net trapped him!
Bittu struggled and cried out, “Help! Somebody help me!”
His cry echoed through the trees. Tinu saw everything from a branch above and panicked. He rushed to tell Golu.
Chapter 4: A Rescue Mission Begins
The moment Golu heard about Bittu’s trouble, he didn’t waste a second. With his heavy steps shaking the ground, he ran toward the trapped deer.
By the time they reached, the hunters were getting closer. Golu had to act fast!
“Hold on, Bittu!” Golu wrapped his strong trunk around the net and pulled with all his might.
With a powerful tug, he broke the net apart, and Bittu was free!
But now, the hunters saw them.
“An elephant! We could capture him too!” one hunter whispered.
They quickly grabbed their ropes and nets, ready to catch Golu himself.
Chapter 5: A Test of Strength
The hunters threw a net over Golu, but he was too strong. With a single push, he shook the ropes off.
“You may have traps,” Golu said, his deep voice calm but firm, “but kindness is stronger than any trap!”
The hunters laughed. “Kindness? What can kindness do against us?”
Just then, something surprising happened.
Chapter 6: The Power of Unity
Tinu, who had been watching everything, finally understood Golu’s words.
“Kindness is more fun than tricks,” he thought.
So, he decided to help.
🐒 Tinu started jumping from tree to tree, throwing fruits and nuts at the hunters to distract them.
🦌 Bittu, despite being scared, gathered other deer and ran past the hunters, confusing them.
🦜 The parrots screeched loudly, creating a loud noise that scared the hunters.
Seeing the animals work together, Golu took his chance. He lifted his trunk and sprayed a huge cloud of dust, blinding the hunters.
In the chaos, the hunters panicked and ran away, shouting, “This jungle is full of magic! Let’s leave before something worse happens!”
Chapter 7: A Lesson Learned
The forest was safe again.
Tinu jumped down from his tree and hugged Golu’s leg.
“I understand now, Golu. You could have been angry at me, but instead, you were kind. And today, it was kindness that saved us all!”
Golu smiled. “Kindness always wins, Tinu. True strength is not in hurting others, but in helping them.”
Chapter 8: The Grateful Forest
That evening, all the animals gathered under the moonlit sky. The Forest Keeper, the wise old man who loved nature, arrived and praised Golu.
“You have taught the jungle an important lesson today, Golu. Strength is not in size, but in the heart.”
The animals cheered. From that day forward, Tinu became kinder, Bittu became braver, and the entire forest learned to work together.
Chapter 9: The Forest’s Promise
The animals made a promise: they would always stand together, protect each other, and never let hunters harm their home again.
Golu stood tall, proud of his friends. The forest was no longer just a jungle; it was a family.
