Jumbo was a big, strong elephant. He worked in a forest in India. He lifted heavy logs with his trunk. He was a good elephant. He always did what he was told.
On special days his master took Jumbo into the town. Jumbo gave children rides on his back.
One day there was a festival in the town. The people wanted to put up a big flagpole in the middle of town.
A boy climbed onto Jumbo's back to help him. Jumbo picked up the pole.
The boy told Jumbo to put the pole in the hole. Jumbo did not do it. He walked away from the hole. His master did not understand.
When he went to have a look in the hole he saw a small kitten at the bottom. He picked the kitten up.
When the kitten was safe, Jumbo walked to the hole and put the pole in. Everyone clapped the kind elephant.
