The elephant asked the man if the man would let the elephant put his trunk inside the hut of the man in order to protect the trunk from the torrential rain. After putting the trunk inside the hut, the elephant slowly pushed his head inside and finally threw the man out of the hut, in the rain. Thus we see the selfless act of a man who allowed his friend – the elephant – to put his trunk inside his hut when there was heavy rain, getting rebuffed. The elephant, instead of remaining grateful, encroached upon the hut of the man and threw him out.
