This document discusses a conversation between Klaus (the elk taker) and Gertrude (the deer keeper) about Klaus' experiences on Children's Lane and caring for the elk Kumar. Klaus shares that Kumar seems happy at Children's Lane and enjoys interacting with the children. However, Klaus worries that Kumar may want more space as he grows older. Gertrude reassures Klaus that Kumar appears content for now and that they can cross future challenges when they arise. She encourages Klaus to focus on nurturing Kumar's happiness in the present.
