Retinue

Once upon a time there lived a group of mice peacefully.

But once a group of elephants came that way and destroyed the homes of all the rats as a result of which many of them were crushed to death

Then the rats held a convention and decided to approach the elephant king.

The mice king requestedthe elephant king to travel another route.The elephant king agreed to this and took another route to the water. And so the lives of the rats were saved.

One day a group of elephant-hunters came and trapped the elephants

The rat king took his entire group of mice and they gnawed the ropes which trapped the elephant herd. And so the elephant herd was totally set free.
