The Elephant And The Sparrow - Panchatantra Story PictureThe female sparrow had laid her eggs in the nest and they were expecting their newborns soon.
On a particular day, unable to bear the heat of the summer sun, an elephant went berserk.
He crashed into all trees in his way. On his way, he broke the branches of the tree that supported the nest of the sparrow couple.
As the branches fell, so did the nest and all the newly laid eggs smashed against the ground.
Although the sparrows managed to escape by flying away, they were heart-broken to see that they had lost the eggs. The female sparrow began to cry and wail loudly.
