Little Elephant sees a bird flying in the sky. He thinks,"I hope I can fly like the bird. That will be great!"
Little Elephant tries to fly like a bird. He jumps up and down. He runs here and there. But he still can't fly. He feels very, very tired.
Little Horse comes and says, "Little Elephant, we don't have wings(翅膀). We can't fly. Look,I have long strong legs. I can run very fast with them.
Little Monkey comes and says, "Little Elephant, I can't fly. Look,I have a long tail. I can swing(荡来荡去)in the tree with it.”
Little Fish comes and says, "Little Elephant, I can't fly. I can't run and I can't swing. But I can swim! Look, my tail isn't long, but I can swim fast with it."
Mother Elephant says to him, "Everyone has his own gift. We don't have wings, but we have a long trunk(象鼻). We can do many things with it."
Little Elephant begins to help others(其他人)with his long trunk. He carries logs(搬运木头)to build beautiful houses. He helps little animals take a shower. He waters flowers and trees. Little Elephant feels very happy.
