Toomai and Elephants
The most famous of the other stories are probably " Rikki-Tikki-Tavi ", the story of a heroic mongoose, and " Toomai of the Elephants ", the tale of a young elephant-handler.
# " Toomai of the Elephants ": Toomai, a ten-year old boy who helps to tend working elephants, is told that he will never be a full-fledged elephant-handler until he has seen the elephants dance.
* " Toomai of the Elephants " was filmed as Elephant Boy ( 1937 ), starring Sabu Dastagir.
In an article published by the Kipling Society in 1971 it was suggested that " Petersen Sahib, the man who caught all the elephants for the Government of India " in the Jungle Book story, Toomai of the Elephants by Rudyard Kipling, was a reference to George Peress Sanderson.
" Where the Elephants Dance " is clearly based on Kipling's " Toomai of the Elephants ", while " The Mad Elephant of Mandla " and " Jacala, Tyrant of the Marsh " are both based on single sentences in Kipling's " Red Dog " in which Kipling mentions some of Mowgli's adventures that he did not intend to write.
When he was 13, Sabu was discovered by documentary film-maker Robert Flaherty who cast him in the role of an elephant driver in the 1937 British film Elephant Boy, based on Toomai of the Elephants, a story by Rudyard Kipling.
