Anger by Wydclaw

Plot: first dumbo drabble. Taken from the 2019 Dumbo remake. I own nothing. This one take place right before Mrs. Jumbo races into the tent to defend her son from his tormentors.

AAAAA

"They're making fun of your ugly baby and There's nothing you can do about it. " The cruel elephant handler human told me, his eyes sneering cruelly. Those echoing words sunk deep into my soul and body. The human – Rufus the other humans called him-had never liked my large – eared son since he was born a few days ago . I did not like him whatsoever- he was very abusive and cruel. I don't think he really liked animals either. The other elephants in the circus were so used to his abusive ways that they obeyed him without question. I however did not intend on becoming this human's latest submissive elephant and told him what I thought of his when I threw him in the enormous water filled bucket.

I heard noises and commotion come from the circus tent : laughter, jeers , elephant stomps, shouts of humans, and my poor little Jumbo Jr 's squeaky cries of "please stop it," " Mama..mama help."

Rage and Anger coursed through my body quickly. How dare those awful humans out there mock and taunt my poor little calf- just because his ears were enormous! I had only met a few nice humans in the Medici Brothers' Circus who saw past my son's condition: The three farriers ( the kind hearted humans who had been the first ones to see my son) , Pramesh Singh, the animal loving kind Indian snake charmer and Miss Atlantis who played her ukulele for us at night.. The taunts I heard were far from the kindhearted words those five humans said. I couldn't stand idly by while my son was in danger and being mocked at.

I looked into Rufus' cold hearted eyes and I knew what I had to do .
