Once upon a time in a little town, lived a boy with red, curly hair named Sam. He loved elephants and dreamed of seeing one up close.

One sunny day, Sam visited the zoo and met a kind elephant named Ellie. They played and giggled until Sam noticed tears in Ellie's eyes.

Ellie whispered to Sam, 'I can talk to special humans like you, and I can even change my size!' Astonished, Sam promised to help Ellie escape from the zoo.

In the dead of night, Ellie shrunk to the size of a toy elephant. Sam kept her safe in his backpack and sneaked her out of the zoo with a joyful leap. They giggled and whispered like two peas in a pod.

Sam and Ellie dashed back to his house and giggled as Ellie transformed back to her normal size. She then shrank again to fit into Sam's cozy shed, where they'd play and share secrets for days.

They laughed and played, and Ellie taught Sam to speak

elephant language, so they could understand each other even better. From that day on, they were the best of friends, sharing joy and love in their special little world.
