Lavindya’s Best Friend

It is seven o’clock in the morning in Chennai, southern India. Lavindya always has her morning bath before school. But she doesn’t have a bath at home. She has a bath in a small pool outside with her best friend, a baby elephant!

Lavindya lives at Arignar Anna Zoo with her parents, brothers and sisters. Her father is a ‘mahout’ – he works at the zoo and he is a special keeper for the baby elephants. Lavindya is only six years old, but she can control the elephants and she has a very special friendship with them. 

At eight o’clock in the morning, Lavindya goes to school, but she doesn’t travel on a school bus. She rides an elephant to school. The elephant carries her backpack with its trunk. After school, Lavindya plays football with the elephants.

Now it is the evening, and the baby elephants are tired. 

Lavindya lies down next to them and pats their trunks. Sometimes they all sleep together – friends together in the day and friends together at night.
