Part I The Unlikely best friend
1. Why did the farmer hug Buntee?
2. Do you think Buntee will leave Gajaraj and go home with the farmer?
Answer:
1. Why did the farmer hug Buntee?
The farmer likely hugged Buntee (the dog) because he was happy to have found his dog after being separated. He was relieved to see that Buntee was safe and well taken care of.
2. Do you think Buntee will leave Gajaraj and go home with the farmer?
It is possible that Buntee might want to stay with Gajaraj because of the strong bond and friendship they have developed. However, Buntee may also go home with the farmer out of loyalty. The decision would depend on how Buntee feels about both the farmer and Gajaraj, as the dog has grown close to Gajaraj during their time together.
Let us discuss
1. Why did Gajaraj not eat his food?
2. Who were friend at the end of the story?
Answer:

Gajaraj did not eat his food because he was sad and missed his friend, Buntee, the dog. After Buntee was taken away by the farmer, Gajaraj felt lonely and lost his appetite.
2. Who were friends at the end of the story?

Answer:
1. Read the following lines and answer the questions that follow.
(a) In spite of royal comforts, Gajaraj was sad because he had no friends. The mahout, or elephant trainer, was the only one he ever interacted with. The mahout was a kind man who served Gajaraj food and gave him a bath in the elephant pond daily. He was a good caretaker, but not a friend.
(i) Complete with one word:
mahout : kind : Gajaraj : lonely
(ii) The mahout was a good caretaker because he gave food to Gajaraj and a bath in the pond.
(iii) What do you think is the difference between a friend and a caretaker?
A friend is someone you can bond with emotionally, share experiences, and feel connected to, while a caretaker provides necessary care and assistance but may not offer emotional companionship or a deep bond of friendship.
(b) “Are you missing your friend?” asked the farmer remembering the happy look on Buntee’s face while sitting on the elephant’s back. “I cannot see you go hungry,” said the farmer. “If you miss your friend so much, go to him.” The farmer removed the rope with which he had tied the dog.
(i) The farmer uses the word friend to refer to the elephant.
(ii) How did the farmer know that Buntee was hungry?
The farmer knew Buntee was hungry because Buntee had not touched his food since being brought home, which indicated that he was not eating because he missed Gajaraj.
(iii) Why did the farmer remove the rope with which he had tied Buntee?
The farmer removed the rope because he understood that Buntee was missing Gajaraj, and he did not want to see the dog suffer from hunger and sadness. He allowed Buntee to return to his friend.
(iv) Complete with one word:
Gajaraj : Buntee :: mahout : farmer
2. Give two examples to show that Gajaraj was very happy to have a friend.
- When Buntee first came to the stable, Gajaraj shared his food with the dog, showing his joy in having a companion.
- When Buntee returned to the stable after being released by the farmer, Gajaraj picked him up with his trunk and joyfully swung him, expressing his happiness to be reunited with his friend.
3. How did the mahout come to know that Gajaraj was sad?
The mahout realized that Gajaraj was sad because he refused to eat for several days, even though there was nothing physically wrong with him. The mahout suspected that Gajaraj was missing his friend, Buntee.
4. Why do you think Buntee licked the farmer’s hand?
Buntee likely licked the farmer’s hand as a sign of gratitude and affection for allowing him to go back to his friend, Gajaraj. It was his way of expressing thanks before running off to be reunited with the elephant.
5. What was ‘unlikely’ about the friendship of Gajaraj and Buntee?
The friendship between Gajaraj (an elephant) and Buntee (a dog) was unlikely because they were two very different animals in terms of size and nature. Despite these differences, they formed a deep bond and became inseparable companions.

Let us reflect
1. The story, “The Elephant and the dog’ is found in the Jataka tales. These stories are ancient Buddhist stories of life values and wisdom. These stories have been told from one generation to the nest for over two thousand years. Find and read another Jataka story.
2. Elephants have historically held significant roles in Indian culture, spanning, history, warfare, religion, festivals and more. However, contemporary ecological challenges have strained the relationship between humans and elephants. Have a discussions in the class.
3. Give below is a news report from an Elephant Sanctuary in the United States about a real-life friendship between an elephant and dog.
The elephant’s name is Tarra and the dog’s name is Bella. Bella came inside a forest for elephants and became Tarra’s friend. Tarra spent most of her time with Bella. One day, Bella had an injury so she could not walk. She was kept inside a building for three weeks. Tarra stood outside for three weeks. Finally, they met and were very happy.
Answer:
1. Another Jataka Story: One of the famous Jataka tales is “The Monkey and the Crocodile.” In this story, a clever monkey saves himself from the crocodile’s deceit by using his intelligence. The crocodile tries to trick the monkey to eat his heart, but the monkey outwits the crocodile by telling him that his heart is on a tree. This story teaches the value of intelligence and quick thinking in times of danger.
2. Class Discussion on Elephants in Indian Culture and Ecological Challenges:
Elephants have been a symbol of strength, wisdom, and royal power in Indian culture. They are considered sacred in some religious traditions, and their role in festivals like Kerala’s Thrissur Pooram is monumental.
In warfare, elephants were used in battles to charge into enemies and break through defenses.
However, with the growth of human settlements and the expansion of agriculture, elephants’ natural habitats are being destroyed, leading to conflicts between humans and elephants.
Contemporary discussions can focus on how to resolve these conflicts while preserving elephants and ensuring human safety, such as through eco-friendly solutions and conservation efforts.
3. Tarra and Bella’s Friendship:
The real-life story of Tarra, the elephant, and Bella, the dog, highlights how animals form deep bonds across species. Tarra’s unwavering presence outside the building where Bella was being treated for three weeks shows the strong friendship they shared. When they finally met after Bella’s recovery, both were filled with happiness. This story reflects the power of companionship and loyalty in animals, similar to the bond between Gajaraj and Buntee in the Jataka tale.
