Question

how did the elephant justify his act of occupie the hut

Answer 1

When the elephant was asked by the lion to give his verdict he said that the man had invited him in his hut to save the hut from the destruction of the hurricane. In reality, the man had decided to let the elephant put his trunk in his hut so as to protect him from the heavy rain. After getting the way to come inside the house of the man, the elephant put his head and then his whole body inside the hut. Also, he threw the man out of his own house and laid down in the hut comfortably.
