| Summary | "Tum Tum, the Jolly Elephant: His Many Adventures" by Richard Barnum is a children's fiction story written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows Tum Tum, a cheerful and adventurous young elephant, as he experiences the wonders of both the jungle and circus life. With his innate good nature, Tum Tum encounters various challenges, friends, and adventures, including swimming with his fellow elephants, escaping danger from hunters, and eventually being captured by circus men. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Tum Tum as a baby elephant in the jungle of India, where he plays with other young elephants and enjoys a carefree life. His parents, including his father Tusky and mother Mrs. Tusky, express some concern over potential dangers that might roam the jungle, but Tum Tum is eager to join his friends for swimming. As he runs through the jungle, Tum Tum shows his playful and courageous spirit by knocking down trees to reach his playmates. However, the story quickly escalates as danger approaches in the form of hunters, leading Tum Tum and his friends to seek safety, setting the stage for the many adventures that will follow in his life as a circus elephant.
