He was lost in thought about what to do now that he was back in the forest.

Suddenly, he saw Jumbo elephant approaching.

"Jumbo, what have you done to yourself? Why don't you do something?"

"What are you saying? I follow a good diet 10 dozen bananas for breakfast, 25 to 30 dozen bananas for lunch, and 10 litres of sugarcane juice..."

"Jumbo, I meant that why don't you do something to reduce your weight? Like take some medication as being overweight can cause illnesses," said Jumpy, interrupting Jumbo.

"No, I won't have any medicine. Don't you know that medicines have many side effects?" said Jumbo.

"Then do exercise, do yoga, but work towards being fit," said Jumpy.

"Jumpy, I carry a lot of weight, I exercise sometimes, so I won't be going to the gym to exercise. And as for yoga, there's no one in our forest to teach me," said Jumbo and moved on.

Why don't I open a yoga training centre in the forest? Jumpy thought to himself. He liked this idea and went on to open a yoga training centre in the forest.

The next day, many animals came to his yoga training centre. Jumpy was extremely happy to see this.

"I am extremely pleased that you all want to keep yourselves healthy and fit, which is why you are here. Today is your first day, so we will start with simple yoga practices," said Jumpy.

"Please teach me yoga exercises for weight loss," Jumbo said eagerly.

"No, first we will do yoga exercises to increase our height," Meeku mouse opposed.
