Why had the elephant become very sad?
He no longer got his daily bowl of rice
He was unhappy with the king for having sold the dog
He missed his friend, the dog
He was sold to an unknown man by his keeper
None of these
He missed his friend, the dog
It is clearly given in the passage, “The man took the dog to his home village, which was quite far away. The king’s elephant became very sad after this incident”.
