Humanity! Elephant baby & mother saved from a pit by heroic people

Story of a mother & baby elephant who have trapped in an agriculture well for a whole day. This village is located bordering to the forest. These types of wells are dug by the poor farmers in dry zone to irrigate their crops.

These elephants might have come into the village from the adjoining forest in search of food. On their way back, they must have fallen in. A villager who visited the field early in the morning to irrigate his cultivation, was astonished by the sight of two strangers inside the well. The news spread like a wildfire in the village. Villagers gathered around to help the elephant.

It is possible that the baby elephant fell into the pit first, and the mother elephant also fell in while attempting to help her calf out of the pit The sight of trapped baby & the mother melted the heart of the villagers. Poor animals must have been starving since the last night. So the thoughtful villagers offered them some of their favorite foods like soft textured banana stems and coconut fronds.

Even though the people living near the border of the village often face trouble from elephants raiding their crops and destroying property, they still have a sense of care and respect for these majestic giants. They do not hesitate to help the elephants whenever they are in trouble. The two elephants in the pit were struggling to get out. Despite being in a perilous situation, the love and affection between the mother and baby were evident. The mother elephant continuously tried to shield her calf with her massive body, protecting him from potential dangers posed by strangers.

Meanwhile, the villagers were discussing how they could help the poor elephants get out of the pit. Since the well walls were steep and the elephants couldn't climb out, they realized that a ramp needed to be built to facilitate their escape. However, they couldn't do this alone as they lacked the necessary equipment. Therefore, they informed the wildlife officers to come and assist with rescuing the animals The officers as soon as they arrived inspected the place, the situation of the elephants, and a possible way out for them. Then they hired an Excavating machine to dig a ramp. The JCB machine arrived and without wasting time, they started digging the pathway.

The intelligent elephant seemed to sense that help had arrived. Stretching its trunk toward the JCB, it began trying once more to climb up through the loosened soil. But she kept falling back, as the angle of the slope was still not sufficient for her to get a firm grip to climb up. Finally, after about an hour's effort, the rescuers were able to build a ramp at a sufficient angle to enable the elephant to climb up.

Now they can easily climb up the pathway that was built for them. The mother elephant patiently waited and allowed her calf to climb up first. That's the nature of a mother's love—always trying to protect her calf and willing to sacrifice anything for her children. When the baby elephant reached the end, mother elephant also followed him. Now both of them are free. The people gathered around were overwhelmed with joy that they could contribute to saving two precious lives trapped and starving in the pit.

Before leaving for the forest, the mother elephant waited a moment and then turned around to show a thankful gesture towards the rescuers.
