The Friendly Elephant

In a big, green jungle, there lived a friendly elephant with a long, wiggly trunk! His trunk was like a super tool. He could pick up bananas, splash water, and even give his friends a big hug!

One sunny day, he used his trunk to help a little bird reach a high nest. “Thank you, Elephant!” chirped the bird. The elephant smiled, knowing his trunk was special.

Just like the colors in a rainbow, every part of him was important! Remember, friends, we all have something special that helps us and others. What’s your special thing?
