 96  a very long time, and Baby Elephant’s nose got longer and longer. At last the Crocodile let go, and Baby Elephant fell down. He was very, very unhappy, because his fully little nose was a big long trunk, and he began to cry.  Don’t cry, don’t cry, little one. Your trunk isn’t so bad. It is very nice! Baby Elephant cried. Suddenly a fly sat down on his head, and Baby Elephant killed the fly with his trunk. You see how nice your trunk is. You could not do that with a little nose. Then Baby Elephant picked some grass with his trunk and put it into his mouth. 
You see how nice your trunk is. You could not do that with a little nose. Baby Elephant began to like his new trunk.    Thank you, Snake. Now it’s time for me to go home. Good-bye, dear Snake.  So Baby Elephant went home. On his way he sang merrily. When he was hungry, he picked bananas from the tall trees and ate them. After a long time he came back home. When his family saw him, they all laughed at his long trunk. Family: You are so funny with your new nose!  Do you think it is funny? (He hit all his family with his new trunk). You see how nice my trunk is. (Laughed.) His family did not laugh at him after that, and all his brothers and sisters went to the big grey-green Limpopo River to get new noses from the Crocodile. Then they came back with big trunks too. And from that day on all Elephants have long trunks.
