Summary "Kari the Elephant" by Dhan Gopal Mukerji is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the bond between a young boy and his pet elephant, Kari, chronicling their adventures as they grow together in the Indian jungle. The narrative not only highlights the playful and mischievous nature of Kari but also explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the lessons that nature can teach us. At the start of "Kari the Elephant," the reader is introduced to Kari, the elephant, who is just five months old and is entrusted to the care of a nine-year-old boy. The chapter describes their daily routines, including bathing and foraging for food, while showcasing Kari's intelligence and bravery when he saves a drowning boy. As their relationship deepens, the boy learns valuable lessons about empathy and respect for nature, alongside the challenges of caring for a growing elephant.
