The Longest Hours
Some of the people headed off into town to alert authorities about the problem. While they did that, the other portion of the group stayed behind to keep an eye on the elephant. The sun was setting, which meant that all of these animals were in serious trouble. The baby, especially, since it was helpless to pray that stalked the area at night. Everyone hoped that help would come before the baby elephant perished. At this moment, things didn’t look good.
Help Arrives
Luckily, long after the sun had set, a rescue team arrived by truck. At first, the elephants seemed slightly agitated by the arrival of more humans and a noisy car. This wasn’t something that they were used to, and in some cases, it would mean a lot mroe danger for the animals if the truck was full of illegal poachers! The animals seemed tense and agitated, looking for some sort of sign that this was a safe situation.
