Then the chief servant went back to the king and said, "The Elephant is not sick, but he is lonely without his friend, the Dog." "Where is the Dog?" asked the king. "A farmer took him away, so the Elephant-keeper says," said the chief servant. "No one knows where the farmer lives." "Very well," said the king.
Neither the Dog nor the Elephant was quite happy unless the other was nearby. One day a farmer saw the Dog and said to the Elephant-keeper: "I will buy that Dog. He looks good-tempered, and I see that he is smart. How much do you want for the Dog?" The Elephant-keeper did not care for the Dog, and he did want some money just then.
Then he said to the Elephant-keeper: "There seems to be nothing the matter with this Elephant's body, but why does he look so sad? Has he lost a playmate?" "Yes," said the keeper, "there was a Dog who ate and slept and played with the Elephant. The Dog went away three days ago." "Do you know where the Dog is now?" asked the chief servant. "No, I do not," said the keeper.
One day the old woman had been to ask fire from a neighbour, and on her return the goat struck her so violently with his horns when she was off her guard as to draw blood. Enraged at this, she applied the fire which she held to the goat's fleece, which kindled, and the animal ran to the stables of the elephant-keeper, and rubbed his sides against the reeds and willows.
