Children’s tale elephant
Auntie Deer was very worried: The little elephant is missing! Auntie Deer called the elephant’s mother, and the elephant’s mother cried on the phone: “The little elephant hasn’t come home! Where on earth could he have gone?”
The children immediately followed Big Bad Wolf, searching everywhere: Behind the rock garden? No. In the kitchen? No. Could he be hiding in the bathroom? Big Bad Wolf rushed into the bathroom. Alas, he wasn’t there either. The little kitten climbed to the top of the cupboard; the little elephant wasn’t there. The little squirrel climbed up the apple tree; the little elephant wasn’t there either.
Oh, little elephant, where on earth have you hidden?
“The little elephant is so big, could it be…” Big Bad Wolf sat under the apple tree, thinking, “Could it be that he has turned as small as an ant and is hiding under a leaf?”
Big Bad Wolf casually turned over a leaf. Oh my, the little elephant was indeed hiding under the leaf. Big Bad Wolf rubbed his eyes hard: “Is this, is this real? Little elephant, is it really you?” “Yes, it’s me.” The little elephant under the leaf buzzed in reply.
“It’s you?! Why are you hiding under the leaf?” Big Bad Wolf’s voice was a bit loud, “Sorry, we were too worried. How did you become so small?” “I don’t know why,” said the little elephant, “I just felt embarrassed because nobody else has a long trunk, only I do. My trunk is so long and ugly, so I hid.”
“But I’m so big that no matter where I hide, people will find me,” said the little elephant. “In my heart, I wished I could get smaller and smaller, as small as an ant, so no one would laugh at my long trunk. I didn’t expect that I would really become small.”
“You must be very hungry?” Big Bad Wolf took out a pack of roasted beans and tossed one into the air. “Here, eat a roasted bean!” The little elephant caught the bean accurately with his long trunk and started chewing.
Hey, the little elephant got a bit bigger.
“Here’s a piece of bubble gum,” Big Bad Wolf threw a peeled piece of bubble gum. The little elephant chewed the bubble gum, and with a “whoosh,” blew a big bubble with his long trunk! “What a beautiful colorful bubble!” said Big Bad Wolf.
The little elephant grew a bit bigger again.
The little elephant ran to the tap to drink water. Big Bad Wolf said: “You must be very thirsty, but don’t drink too much!”
The little elephant returned to the children. Auntie Deer cried excitedly: “Little elephant, welcome back.”
Whoosh—the little elephant’s long trunk sprayed a huge fountain, and all the children had a delightful shower. Everyone said in unison: “Little elephant, little elephant, you have such an amazing long trunk!”
From then on, the little elephant never hid himself again.
