One day the forest and surroundings where this elephant was resident, caught by a wild fire and everything started burning, at that time this elephant made a huge ground uprooting many trees so as to get away from burning it made circular ground with the radius of 3600 ft. All the animals, to get saved from fire and burning, took shelter in this ground and got jam packed in that one rabbit entered and could not found a place to stand at that time this elephant got some scratch in the leg and lifted the same leg rabbit captured the place of that one foot and stayed there. Elephant did notice the same and to prevent the rabbit’s death he kept its leg lifted in the air for almost around 55 – 60 hours. After that time when fire got languid and lost the strength of burning all the animal started living the place rabbit also left the same. After that when elephant tried to keep its foot down but because of lingering the foot in the air for huge amount of time it was not able to do put down the foot and got injured badly and it was so hard to bear and then after due to lack of living strength besides this unbearable pain it finally died and promoted a soul by taking birth in Man’s world.
