Deep in the jungle, there lived a big group of elephants. The elephants lived in a certain place beside a pond, and did not require venturing out.
There came a time, when the pond started drying up due to lack of rain for a few years.
Some of the elephants met the king of the elephants, and said, "Your Majesty! We do not have any more water. Some of our little ones are on the verge of death. We must find some other place which has abundant water."
After thinking a while, the elephant king said, "I remember knowing a place where there is a very big lake. It must still be full of water. Let us go there."
Next morning they started to march. After travelling for five days and five nights, the elephants finally reached the place. There was indeed a big lake, full of water.
There were innumerable holes in the soft earth around the lake, in which a group of hares lived.
When the elephants saw so much water in the lake, they rejoiced, and started jumping into the water without a care in the world.
