A
baby elephant lived in a forest who always asked silly questions and got spankings.

Once it asked it's family members "what does a crocodile have for it's lunch?" again it got spankings. The baby elephant then went to the baboon and asked the same question so again it got spankings. Then it went to the bird and asked the same question. The bird replied if you really want to know that what a crocodile has for it's lunch, you better go to "The great grey limpopo river" by tomorrow afternoon and find out your-self.

The baby elephant liked the idea. The next afternoon it went to the great grey limpopo river. There it found a rock which was really rock a crocodile looking like a rock. The crocodile started to pull the elephant's trunk which was very small that years. a snake saw it and started pulling the elephant from the opposite side and helped the baby elephant. The crocodile lost it's grip and fell into the river.

now the elephant had a long trunk and spanked the baboon and the family! members of it's. This is how a elephant has a long trunk.
