The sun was setting on the horizon as the small caravan of travelers made their way through the desert. They had been traveling for days, and the heat and sand had taken its toll on them. But they were determined to reach their destination.
At last, they arrived at the oasis of Timbuktu. As they entered the city, they were met with awe and admiration. The people of Timbuktu had heard of the Golden Elephant and were eager to see it.
The travelers made their way to the palace of the King of Mali. As they entered, they were greeted by the King himself. He welcomed them warmly and asked them to tell him of their journey.
The travelers told the King of their adventures and of the Golden Elephant. The King was amazed and asked to see the Golden Elephant. The travelers agreed and presented the Golden Elephant to the King.
The King was overjoyed and thanked the travelers for returning the Golden Elephant to him. He declared that the Golden Elephant would be a symbol of his power and a reminder of the greatness of Mali.
The King then gave the travelers a reward for their bravery and loyalty. He gave them each a bag of gold and a special blessing. With that, the travelers left Timbuktu, knowing that they had done something great.
The Golden Elephant was returned to its rightful place in the palace of the King of Mali. From that day forward, the Golden Elephant was a symbol of the greatness of Mali and a reminder of the courage and loyalty of the travelers who returned it.
