Today is Sunday.
They were ready to go. Babar kissed the old lady goodbye. He would be quite happy if he were not leaving her.He promised to come back someday and he would not forget her. They went by a car, which had no room for the mothers. So they followed the car and lifted up their trunks for not breathing in the dust. The old lady thought sadly when she could see her little Babar again. On the very day the king of the elephants died for having eaten a poisonous mushroom. That was a great calamity. The elephants decided to choose a new king. Just then they heard a great noise and saw Babar arriving. The oldest elephant proposed that Babar should be the king, because he had learnt much about living among men. All the elephants agreed and waited for Babar's answer. Babar told them he had fallen love with his cousin, Celeste. If he had became the king, Celeste would be the Queen. Cried all the elephants without any hesitation. The dromedary returned with the bridal costumes just in the nick of time for the ceremony. After the wedding and coronation, everybody danced merrily. The festivities were over and the guests had gone. King Babar and Queen Celeste were very happy. They both eagered for further adventure, so they set out on their honeymoon in a gorgeous yellow balloon.
