The Big Friend hears you! He slumbers and observes vanity of the external world through sealed eyelids with beautiful eyelashes. His quiet rumble tells of what he sees in the slumber. Everyone who is in tune with his wave understands him irrespective of the distance. There are also some who out of sheer stupidity attempt to tell him what is actually the case. Then the Big Elephant awakes in order to respond! You can calm him down by singing to him the sacred Friend’s Song.
