The best thing to hold onto in life is each other and this was manifested by a Bangladeshi man for his wife.
Dulal Chandra Roy, a resident of Lalmonirhat's Panchagram union Bangladesh, sold his land and bought an elephant out of the proceeds as a token of love for his wife Tulsi Rani Dasi to fulfil her wish.

"I sold the land and bought the elephant to fulfil my wife's dream," he said.
Dasi said she had a dream about a year ago where she had bought an elephant and was taking care of it.
It was not the first time she bought animals after seeing them in her dreams. A few years ago, Tulsi bought a horse, a swan and a goat.
People from the nearby areas thronged the couple's house to see the elephant.
Dulal also hired a mahout, Ibrahim Mia from Moulvibazar on a monthly salary of Tk 15,000.
"It's for the first time I've seen someone buying an elephant in this age to fulfil his wife's dream," said Santona Rani, a resident of Rajarhat area.
