Long ago a dog used to state at elephants stable to feed on the food the elephant dropped. They soon became great friends and could not live without the other and neither was happy without the other. The dog used to hold on to the elephant's trunk and swing back and forth. They were happy playing and spending time together.
But one day a peasant came and gave the king money for the dog. The dog was given to him and left. With the absence of the dog, the elephant grew sad and did not want to eat, drink, or bathe. The others grew worried and told the king ad sent Pandit to find out what was causing the elephant to behave like this. The Pandit told the king that there was nothing nearly wrong with the elephant but that he was like this because he missed his friend a dog whom he had grown very fond of. They looked for the man who had taken the dog and finally brought the dog back. As soon as the dog came back he jumped on the elephant's trunk and played together. After that, the elephant came back to his normal self again.

I still couldn't believe it, today is the day. My body was filled with nerves and excitement all at once.

After we successfully helped Vishvamitra win in the battle against the rakshasas, Lakshmana kept bothering me to accompany him in exploring the city. All I wanted to do was rest after the long day but after a lot of convincing I finally gave in.
