Story: The Elephant and His Friends

In a quiet forest lived an elephant named Elmo. He was big, gentle, and loved helping others. Every morning, Elmo walked to the river to drink water and greet his friends. His closest friends were Tira the tiger, Milo the monkey, and Luna the bird.

One day, the forest became unusually hot. The river began to dry up, and the animals worried they would soon run out of water. Elmo listened carefully to their concerns and decided they needed to find another water source. “Let’s go together,” he said. “We’ll find a place where everyone can drink.”

The journey was not easy. They walked through thick bushes, climbed over fallen trees, and crossed sandy ground that burned their feet. Milo complained, Tira grew impatient, and Luna became tired of flying. But Elmo stayed calm and encouraged them. “We can do this,” he said. “We’re stronger when we help one another.”
