A prince's horse, A king's elephant

“We will die together” A prince tells his horse
As they ride off to war, two of them the only force
The horse, the friend since childhood, took him there
Carried him, fought with him- told him “Don’t be scared”
They gave him the city and they made him King
Presenting him food, drinks and other things
And an elephant
The King rode around his town with the elephant
On top of the world, the elephant too in joy
The horse is forgotten
It reminds the King of his inferior past, he said
So they set the horse into the wild
The horse dies silently in solitude

Ah! How tragic for the horse!
Nicely done. I like how it shows how rotten royalty can be. |

So misleading at the start! I was, wishfully, hoping for a heroic end where the friends went happily on to the after life together. Instead the man dumps an old friend for the false friends and comfort of luxury and wealth. I hope he gets trampled by his elephant!!
