When Neel Met James

After flying in the air with the help of hundreds of

seagulls for hours, James finally spotted an island,
Sunderbans. Suddenly, a plane flying above them

cut off all the strings that were attached to the

stem of the peach. The peach started falling down
and landed between two trees. James and the

creature looked around confused, they didn't know

where they were. They had landed near the shore
where Neel and his father were trying to save the

tiger cub from the greedy Gupta and his men. After
hearing the loud creak, many people started

gathering around the peach. Whispering, and

talking. Gupta was shocked and amazed, when the
creatures got out the peach. Everyone looked as if

they'd seen ghosts.
James and the creature politely introduced themselves. Gupta wanted to take the

peach and sell it, but the creatures got very angry about that. The Centipede jumped

onto Gupta and bit him. His people ran away in fear. James started backing up and
mistakenly fell on Neel. James apologized and they started talking, since then James

and the creatures lived in Sunderbans. Every night Neel’s sister would give them food.

They became very good friends.
