'Forget me not' is a heart-felt episode which captures the hearts of children and adults alike.
As Eliza temps to track down this elephant which has brought her father to become a naturelist and her famliy into the wild, she also embarks on one of life's devestating turths of life to which we all face in reality. Eliza befreinds Rebecca and has a great time with her during the middle of the episode, after rescuring an elephant in the mudhole, Eliza follows Rebecca to a hill where Rebecca talks to her gently about the fun day they had together, slowly Eliza relizes the true reason to why she is so tired as she does, Rebecca slowly passes on...Eliza starts to cry on this upsetting momment to viewers and to the audience. However her father, Nigel comes to the scene sees his daughter is crying and comforts her by telling her on how Rebecca was happy before she passed on this gives Eliza a little happiness in her eyes and amits in a way that Rebecca had a really good life before she died.
This episode represents on how a child is facing a terrible fact of a relative/freind/famliy dying and then pass on. It is really important that an adult would explian to their child on why that person or pet would die in life and why it is for children to need to understand and be assured that death is a part of life. If someone is facing a bad time of a person they know who has died, it's best to give them support and comfort about the situion.
