Natrinai 318

The lady elopes with her lover. When they rest under a tree they happen to watch two elephants. They went to the man’s village and got married. One day the man informs the lady, he is to go on earning. The lady says these words.

Have you recall the past event? We rested under a tree. A wild male elephant came there in its usual route. It eats leaves starching its trunk. It changes trunk to another branch. The female elephant mistakes it that had some wounds in its trunk. The female trumpets to echo in the mountain valley. Are you thinking to go again such a dangerous route? I am worrying.
