About the story.

Young Toomai grows up around working elephants and longs to share more fully in their world. The adults have firm ideas about what a boy can do, while the elephants carry a history and a life beyond their daily labor.

Kipling gives Toomai’s curiosity the atmosphere of a night adventure. The forest promises something the ordinary working day cannot explain, if the boy can stay attentive enough to follow it.
