Gajendera-The Elephant

Our mom told us the story about the Gajendera elephant and Vishnu Bhagavan.

We thought of enacting the same. I was the Gajendera, Dada was the crocodile, and Mamma was the Vishnu Bhagavan.

The story goes like this: When me, the elephant goes to take bath in a river, Dada, the crocodile bites my leg. I am supposed to call Vishnu Bhagavan and he appears before me and sacks the crocodile’s neck. Vishnu Bhagavan saves me from the crocodile.

Action, Scene 1 start:

I am taking bath; Dada is crawling and is acting like he is biting my leg. As soon as he bites, I beat him back and say, “ go crocodile go go crocodile go….”

Mamma is prompting from behind, “ Arjun call Vishnu Bhagavan.”

I said, “ No mamma, Arjun will beat the crocodile myself!!!!”

Dada (In a crying tone), “ Mamma, this guy is not acting as per the rule!!!!”

Pappa, “ Boys, it is fine to break the rules sometimes.”

Action, Scene 2 start:

I am taking bath; Dada is crawling and is acting like he is biting my leg. As soon as he bites, I say, “ Vishnu come here.”

Mamma prompting from behind, “ Arjun , you should say Vishnu Bhagavan help me. Not Vishnu come!!”

Arjun, “ Vishnu if you don’t come, I will beat you also”

Pappa, “What is happening here!!”
