The Elephant
The elephant walks around the savanna.
Stomp, stomp!
He sways back and forth while moving around looking for the watering hole.
He meets many friends along his way. He greets them with a wave of his trunk and goes on his way.
After walking for a little bit, he sees the watering hole! He happily runs over with big, heavy stomps, spraying himself with water and playing with his friends.
