Tunga

Tunga

One sunny morning, Tunga was born,
Elephant moms and kids filled with glee,
A new baby was joining the family

Tunga's mom, proud as can be, .
Showed off her baby, for all to see, .
The jungle filled with laughter and glee, .
Little did Tunga know, .
it was because of his long, twisty spree.

Baby elephants, too, joined in the cheer,
Seeing Tunga's long trunk, they sneered,
Thought he might stumble and veer,
But Tunga surprised them, that much was clear.

He swiftly stood up, tall and near,
With his long trunk, he made it clear,
Hugs for everyone, spreading good cheer.

Off to the forest, Tunga took flight,
Grabbing fresh leaves and fruits, all so bright,
With his long trunk, he reached the height,
Other baby elephants watched in delight.

They had hoped for a snack, a piece of sweet pie,
Mothers were late, fruits were too high.
But Tunga's kindness set things right,
Bringing each of them a delicious bite.

Tunga smiled wide, no grudge inside,
Sharing with brothers and sisters such a delight.
