Run Run is a boy who is trained to work with elephants clearing the jungle. One day, while at the river, his elephant sprays the prince with water. The Prince becomes angry and threatens the boy with a "gift." A gift that is "a curse." This gift comes in the form of a white elephant. White elephants are held to be sacred, and can not be worked, yet eat more than one hundred pounds of food each day.
After a while, the boy and elephant get to be friends, and the boy disguises his old elephant with white powder, and the new elephant with red mud, and takes him out to work. But, when the prince finds out, he is furious. But, at that moment, the white elephant saves the prince's life, and he wants his elephant back again.
My children didn't want me to put this one down.
