"Yes, Jumpy, I feel that, too. Nowadays, the cuckoo doesn't sing, and the peacock doesn't dance.
"Yes, since smartphones came, all the animals have stopped chatting with each other.
"You are right, Jumpy. I want to teach my son, Sheru, how to hunt, but he doesn't take his eyes off his smartphone."
"Majesty, yesterday I told Momo monkey to pull out some dried grass. After working for five minutes, he took out his phone and took a selfie. Then, he posted it online and wrote, Feeling good. After that, he didn't work again! He just waited for the comments on the smartphone."
"Okay. Why were Coco cat and Woofy wolf fighting yesterday?" Shersingh asked.
Jumpy explained, "Because Woofy doesn't like and comment on Coco's status."
"Oh. I heard there was a theft at Peppy peacock's house. What happened?" Shersingh asked.
"He visited Anandvan and uploaded a few pictures there on social sites. The thieves found out he was not at home and robbed his house."
"Oh! That is unfortunate... how is Peppy?"
"He is still glued to his phone."
Gigi giraffe, who was eating leaves close by overheard Shersingh and Jumpy and said, "Majesty, earlier I used to lift my long neck and watch animal's tricks to entertain myself. Now, everyone has their heads down and buried in their mobile phones."
Gigi added, "Yesterday, I saw Cheeku rabbit walking while looking at his mobile. He wasn't paying attention to where he was walking and fell into a pit."
"Oh, then?"
"When I pulled him out, instead of being upset about his foolishness, he was upset that his mobile broke! Today he bought a new one from the market."
