Answer:
Explanation:
Kari was 5 months old when he was given to the narrator (who is 9 years old) for handling. They both grew up together. The narrator would used to rub him with clean sand on the sand bank for an hour. Then he would lie down in the water for a long time. On coming out he would shine like ebony. Kari was mischievous, but helpful too. He saved the life of a boy drowning in the river with the help of the narrator. He also developed a great love for ripe bananas. One day he stole the ripe bananas kept on the dining table with the help of his trunk. His trunk looked like a snake. The parents scolded the servants and the narrator as they thought that they have done this work. Later on the narrator found out banana peels in the pavilion of Kari and so he scolded him. He took 3 lessons to understand "Mali", which means to walk, 3 weeks to understand "Dhat", which means to sit down, and it takes 5 years for a elephant to learn the master call.
