hid : put or keep out of sight
                  So, Birju hid   himself in the field one night. He             wondered : was surprised
                                                                                 landed : came down after flying
             saw  a  white  elephant  flying  down.  It  started
                                                                                 excited : feeling happy
             eating  the  sugarcane.  “A  flying  white  elephant!
             Where  is  it  from?”  Birju  wondered            .  He

             held on to Airavat’s tail. When Airavat flew

             back in the morning, Birju flew back with
             him, holding on to his tail.


                  Airavat  landed      in  heaven. Birju  looked

             around with wide eyes. It was so beautiful.
             Lovely  flowers,  sweet  fruits,  shady  trees

             .......... Birju was excited    to see the place.


                  Birju  went  back  to  the  earth  with
             Airavat that night. He went home and told

             his  wife  Gomti  about  heaven.  He  said,

             “Come with me and see the place.”
