"Little elephant and a Boy" Story written together with my 8 year old

in #life4 years ago (edited)

There once was a small elephant. He loved his family, never quarreled with it and never offended anyone.
The elephant loved travelling, when he proudly walked with all the other elephants through the Savannah, holding on his mother's tail. Mother elephant explained they were on the move to escape the drought. Drought is when there is no water at all and nothing to drink. Mum tenderly called our little elephant - Ele.
Although small elephant liked his herd, he was a little sad that he was surrounded only by adults because he wanted to play with his own age group.
Then one day Ele met his first friend. The herd of elephants finally found a suitable green place near the muddy river where they could easily walk down to the waters.
Little elephant liked to exercise his trunk pulling sweet fruit from the trees. Then he noticed a monkey eating a banana. This was a strange almost hairless monkey with only long brown hair matted on his head. Ele realized that it was a child. With curiosity what was actually a human boy approached the little elephant. He smiled at elephant, looking straight into Ele's big eyes, then began to stroke his back, quite nicely by the way. Elephant liked it very much, he even closed his eyes with pleasure. Ele decided to repay the boy and picked him a juicy fruit from a nearby tree. In return the boy gave him a big hug and palted his floppy ears.
They both had so much fun that even after Ele returned to his herd they both never forgot their friendship.

One day I dream to make compilation of stories for kids called "Little Queen Harmony". Thank you for reading
