The Little Elephant Falls Asleep

In the evening, the animal kindergarten was very quiet because all the little animals were peacefully asleep and snoring loudly!

However, the little elephant couldn't fall asleep. He swung his long trunk back and forth. Bang! It hit the little sheep.

Bang-bang! It hit the little fox too. He woke up both the little sheep and the little fox. "Why aren't you sleeping?" asked the little sheep and the little fox. "I can't fall asleep," said the little elephant. "I need my long trunk hooked to my mom's long trunk to sleep."

At this moment, the little monkey woke up and said to the little sheep, "Let's swap beds. I want to sleep next to the little elephant."

"Okay!" The little sheep jumped up and went to sleep in the little monkey's bed.

After saying that, the little monkey lay down on the little sheep's bed, curled up his long tail, and said to the little elephant, "Come on, hook your long trunk to my tail, and you'll be able to sleep."

The little elephant was very happy. He stretched out his long trunk, tightly hooked it to the little monkey's long tail, and closed his eyes...

Soon, he really started snoring and fell into a deep sleep!

Moral of the story: The clever little monkey came up with a way to make the little elephant fall asleep. He used his tail as a substitute for the elephant's trunk and soon lulled the little elephant to sleep. Kids, we should learn from the little monkey's spirit of being good at using our brains to help others.
