Adi's nostrils flared as she charged toward Dal, her eyes blazing with anger at the trio of bullies.
The two other kids followed closely behind her.
"How could you do that to a baby mammoth?" she demanded, her voice trembling with fury as she saw the blood dripping from Lith's head.
Her fierce demeanour frightened both Lith and Dal.
Feeling cornered, Lith instinctively took a step back.
Dal felt all his strength drain away. He knew this misunderstanding would cause him serious trouble. Desperately, he tried to explain again.
"Adi, Thanal, Para. I know this looks bad, but I have nothing to do with it. It's them..." Dal carefully addressed each kid by name.
But they weren't listening.
They quickly positioned themselves between Dal, the bullies, and Lith to protect the baby mammoth.
"Just admit it. You're the leader of these brats, right? How could they do this without your permission?" Adi was unconvinced.
