The Elephant in My House

- Prum Kunthearo

One morning, Botom and her mother were tending their fields. Suddenly, they saw a young elephant running towards them! The elephant ran straight into their house and began to eat. Botom grabbed its tail and yanked hard. "Get out of there! Go back to your home!" she shouted. But Botom's parents ran in and told her to stop. "The poor elephant!" her mother cried. "He must be starving and lost." Her father agreed. "We should be friends to this elephant. We will call him Sakor." Botom was envious of how much attention and good food her parents gave to Sakor. Sakor followed Botom everywhere, he was a real pest! Botom wondered if he would ever go home to the forest. Botom thought if she was mean to Sakor, he might leave. So, she put pepper in his trunk, making him sneeze, and teased him with ants, to make him scared.
