Once
upon a time, in a faraway jungle, there lived an elephant called Eddie.
Eddie
was an enormous elephant.
He had
a long trunk,
two
big flappy ears, two white tusks,
four
strong legs and one tiny tail.
One day
Eddie went for a walk.
He was
feeling lonely and sad.
None
of the other animals wanted to play with him and he had no other elephant
friend to play.
He walked
slowlyi..........Thump, Thump, Thump.
He saw
rabbits playing on the grass.
"Hello,"
said Eddie to the rabbits. "Will you play with me?"
"Oh
no, Eddie you are too big to play with us. Go and play with someone else,"
said the rabbits rudely.
Eddie
walked on slowly. Suddenly Montu eagle flew down from the sky,
"Hello!"
said Eddie to the Eagle. "Where are you going?" "I have
just eaten a nice apple. I am going to find some water to drink," said
the eagle.
"Come
let's have a race to the river," said Eddie
They
both race to the river where they find Mother
Duck
looking rather worried.
"What
happened, Mrs. Duck?" asks Eddie
"I went
for a swim and now I have forgotten where I kept my eggs! Please can you help me find them quickly? I am afraid Kannu Crocodile may find them and
eat my eggs for his breakfast!"
Montu
the Eagle and Eddie Elephant begin to look around. Suddenly Eddie spots
the eggs hidden near the tall grass.
"Here
are your eggs, Mrs. Duck," says Eddie.
"Thank
you Eddie my friend!" says Mrs. Duck,
relieved
to have found her eggs.
Montu
the Eagle flies off to find food while Eddie returns to the forest, happy
to have done a good deed.
On the
way he meets an elephant driving a cycle. "Hello,
my name is Eddie."
"And
my name is Ellie!" says the other elephant. "I used to stay in the circus
but now I am lost and I don't have any friends. Will you be my friend?"
She asks Eddie
"Yes!
I would love to be your friend!
"Come,
let's play with my cycle!" Says Ellie happily.
And
Eddie and Ellie Elephant became friends and always played together and
Eddie was never lonely again.
