This story, drawn from Kipling's "Many Inventions," centers around the character of Mulvaney, a soldier who recounts a remarkable encounter involving an elephant and the chaos that ensues. The narrative promises humor and insight into human-animal relationships in a colonial setting, particularly highlighting the challenges soldiers face with the elephants that assist in their duties. At the start of the story, the scene is set during a hot evening where the soldiers are tending to twelve government elephants. The protagonist, Térence Mulvaney,, introduces the other soldiers, along with his pet dog, Vixen, who momentarily causes a commotion among the elephants. Mulvaney shares anecdotes about elephants' unpredictable behavior and the cultural perceptions surrounding these majestic creatures. The narrative hints at a past incident where Mulvaney had a memorable encounter with an elephant, building anticipation for the tale to unfold that promises elements of humor, camaraderie, and adventure amidst military life.
