Other elephants came to help, siblings, uncles and cousins but nothing worked. They needed to widen the hole and make a path for the young elephant to walk to firmer ground and be saved. As soon as they approached the elephant parents, the elephant relatives sensed their foul intentions and immediately stopped them and drove them as far away as possible. The women got behind the young elephant and helped him to the firm ground. They wish to preserve these animals so that our children and their children would not be deprived of knowing these mammals as their parents and their parents’ parents knew them.
