The content tells two woodpeckers lived with their babies in a nest in a tree in a forest. There were two herds of elephants walking towards the tree. The birds were afraid that the herd would harm their children so they talked to the king elephants and begged. The first king elephant, Kotsalo, blocked the path where the bird’s nest was located until all members of the herd had passed. But the second king elephant, Devadata did not listen, he used his trunk to pull down the bird’s nest and stomped the baby birds to death.
