"Roro, leave books aside; we are your going on a picnic," Polly said.
"Polly, I cannot come. You know how much I like math, right? I want to continue solving some math problems." "Why won't you listen to me? If you dont come, I'll just call Elmo elephant here. He will pick you up with his trunk and take you with us," said Polly and removed his phone from his pocket.
Roro got scared. "Oh no, don't call Elmo! I'll come with you!" Roro said quickly.
"That's more like it! We have made all the preparations, so you don't need to take anything. Just come along," said Polly, and Roro went with him to the park where Toto tortoise and Elmo were waiting for him.
Everyone picked up their picnic baskets and started walking towards the picnic spot. They enjoyed a lot. Polly and Elmo took selfies wherever they went.
When everyone got tired of roaming around, they sat at one place and had lunch. After lunch, everyone else lay down to rest, and Toto started playing games on his phone.
It was soon evening, and they were preparing to return. Just as they were packing all their things, they heard a strange sound. "What's that sound?" Polly asked.
"Polly, if I'm right, we're going to be in big trouble. That's the sound of a lot of crocodiles coming this way," Toto said nervously.
"Crocodiles? But why are they coming this way?" Polly asked fearfully.
"Polly, they have come to know that we are here, and they are coming to eat us. Run from here!" Toto said, trembling.
"But Toto, you walk slowly," Roro said, thinking.
"I'll pick up Toto," Elmo said quickly.
"But Elmo, the crocodiles are coming from the direction we came," Polly said.
"I also know another way to return to Chandanvan," said Toto quickly.
"Then come quickly," said Elmo, lifting Toto in his trunk and following the path guided by Toto.
