THE ELEPHANT AND THE CASSOWARY

There was a clumsy flapping of
wings, a tremendous swelling of the bird’s wattle and an undignified getting
up, as if it were a floored boxer doing his best to beat the count of ten.Two
mismatched animals meet and the result is a hilarious tale of how one got the
better of the other. A photographer takes pictures of animals in the wild and
writes about the hidden and mysterious world of the jungle. A tiger, used to
its habitat, has to keep running from the humans who take up his home, till
he has no more place for escape.Filled with descriptions of animals both in
the wild and at home, of jungles and of the people who wander the forests in
search of animals, this collection contains stories that are exhilarating and
thought-provoking.
