Lonnie spent some time with the neighbor at his repair dhokan
Late afternoon, we decided to catch a rickshaw van to go for some veggies. I was looking for cucumbers in particular for our “Sunday” lunch tomorrow. Nee-tie was our driver this evening… we didn’t see any cucs in Chakrakhali so we went on to Sausa Bunia. Successful. On our return trip, what do we see?! But an elephant! Walking down the road! With a man leading it. Nee-tie turned around so we could get a better look and visit with the owner. He had the elephant tell us “Hi” she obediently trumpeted for us🤩 he told us the elephant’s name, but these Bengali names… some of them are just beyond us to remember. The smallish brown Asian elephant was 5 yrs old. Told us, for Taka, he’d give rides. Nobody jumped at the chance.. A motorcycle with man, wife, and child stopped to observe also. We both gave a little Taka which the elephant took from our hands with her trunk and gave to her owner😍 Then she obediently told us “Bye” 🐘
