Once upon a time, there was a baby
elephant, Pipo, sitting on the floor by a
tree. His life was completely empty. He
had experienced the most terrible
situation of his father abandoning him
in the middle of nowhere. Bewildered,
he could not manage to stop crying. His
heart was broken due to his father’s
betrayal. He was lonely and devastated.
Suddenly, he heard a woman and a little
girl laughing loudly. The sound came
from an opened window of a nearby
house. Slowing down his weeping, he
started trying to walk, and he succeeded.
With difficulty, Pipo reached the window
and gently he joined the two women.
They both were surprised at first, but then
they got on well with him and cooked
some delicious peanut cookies.
After three hours, the little boy of the
family took Pipo on a wonderful
adventure. They grabbed some food
and went to a neighboring lake. Pipo
got a fantastic idea to enjoy their
afternoon, eat their meal, and have a
lovely moment. He jumped into the
freshwater and splashed all around
him. Together with him, the boy
stepped into the water, too.
Later that day, the girl and the baby
elephant wandered around their garden.
On their way back home, it started to rain
lightly. They both extremely loved the
rain, so as a consequence a dance in the
rain occurred without thinking. Fun was
their main worry that afternoon. They felt
joy through their laughter, they felt
immensely happy.
As soon as they arrived home during the
evening, the children’s parents had no
good news at all. They were shocked about
what had appeared in the garden. The
bewildering situation astonished them.
From nowhere, a huge female elephant
showed up and begun to scream. She
seemed very worried and frightened.
Nevertheless, the minute Pipo realized she
was his mother waiting for her little baby,
he rushed towards her, and finally, they
both cuddled into a sweet, enormous hug.
