"What's the matter, Rimpy? Where are you off to? Let me know if you are in some trouble," Bonny said.
"I am going to King Sher Khan," Rimpy answered.
"What problem do you have for King Sher Khan today?"
"For the last few days, there have been robberies in my field. Someone is stealing carrots and radishes I've grown. I am very worried and don't know who is doing it. My only hope lies with the king doing something and helping me catch the thief," Rimpy told Bonny.
"Oh, so if that's the case, you should definitely tell this to the king. Who would do that in Sundervan? Whoever it is should be punished," Bonny said.
"Yes, they will be punished for sure," said Rimpy and went to meet the king. Elmo elephant was also worried. Someone was stealing his sugarcane. He could not understand who was doing it. Someone else was eating the fruits of his entire year's hard work. Elmo decided to go to King Sher Khan about his problem, too.
While Elmo was walking towards King Sher Khan's palace, he saw Sally squirrel on his way.
"What's the matter, Elmo? Where are you heading?" Sally asked.
"I am going to the king. What about you?" Elmo asked.
"I am going to the king, too. But why are you going to him?" Sally asked.
"I am very worried as someone is stealing my crops. I don't know who it is. Every day there are fewer canes in my fields," Elmo said sadly.
"Oh! You're also facing the problem of theft. Everyone has the same problem," Sally said.
"What do you mean? Whose crops are being stolen?" Elmo asked.
