How does he narrate the story of the tusker? Does it appear to be plausible?
Share
He began the story of the elephant by giving a preface in which he called elephants ‘big and huge well-fed beasts.’ He said that after absconding from the timber yard, the elephant started roaming around, engraved on bushes and tore apart the wild creepers. It came to the main road of the town and broke all the stalls which were there selling fruits, mud pots, and clothes etc. Then it went into a school ground where children were playing. It pulled out the football goal-post, broke down the volleyball net and crushed the drum kept for water and uprooted the shrubs. All the teachers and students were so afraid that they started climbing up to the terrace of the school building.
According to Iswaran, he was in the junior class at that time. He took a cane from one of the teacher and ran into the open. The elephant was grunting and stamping its feet. The entire scene was frightening. Still, he moved slowly towards it and when the elephant rushed towards him, he moved and dead beat its third toe nail. It looked surprised and then fell down. This story does not appear to be believable so it is not plausible.

Iswaran says that he grabbed a cane from the hands of one of the teachers.He ran down the stairs and came into the open. The elephant looked frightening. Iswaran moved slowly towards it,with the stick in hand .The elephant was ready to rush and hit hard on it’s third toe nail .The elephant was stunned for a moment.Then it collapsed.
I don’t think it is a plausible story. Iswaran says that he was then a junior student .We can’t believe that a little child could do all that.
He narrated the story of an elephant by giving a prologue in which he called elephants ‘huge well- fed beasts. The tusker destroyed everything that came into the way. … When the elephant was ready to rush towards him, he moved forward and whacked its third toe nail.
Iswaran narrated the story of the tusker while they both were lying to sleep. He wanted to narrate the aggressive behaviour of a mad elephant, so he stood up, jumped and stumped his feet to show the behaviour of the elephant. He told his employer that he used a Japanese trick on the elephant to paralyse its nervous system.
No, the story did not appear to be plausible.
Firstly he gave an introduction in that his village was surrounded by a dense forests.At this timber yards the logs of the timber were transportable,On to the lorries by elephants.He added that beats were huge and in care.One of them went mad and it couldn’t be controlled even by the Mahout.He could caught up in the excitement of his story that he would get up from the floor and jump about,stamping his feet in emulation of the mad elephant. Iswaran’s talent of narrating the story was praise worthy.He put a lot of effort to make it engrossing to the listener.
