There once was a elephant who asked really curious questions. In his family there was his mum, Aunt Hippopotamus,Uncle Baboon, Aunty Kuko bird and his Uncle Giraffe. The question he asked his mum was what do crocodiles have for dinner?. Then his mum would spank him. Then asked his Aunt Hippopotamus and he got another spank from his aunt. He asked Uncle Baboon,aunty bird and uncle giraffe and they all spanked him as well. They spanked him till he was red all over. After that they all said if you want to find out what they have for dinner. He had only a little nose. Yes I do. Well go to the river than and you will see replied his mum. So the elephants child set of on a journey to the river.

On the way to the river he walked past lots of trees. He took some food with him. All he took with him was 100 rockmelon, 10 coconuts and 40 bananas with him. He travelled a long way through the middle of Africa to get to the river.

On the way he meet a rock python snake was wrapped around a rock in the mud by the river. The elephant's child asked the rock python and said what do crocodiles have for dinner. The  elephants child spoke to the snake and said please don't spank me please I have been spanked by all of my family. Suddenly the rock python snake spanked the elephants child. The python said go over to the river and see for yourself.

So the elephants child did and he meet a crocodile. Then asked the crocodile what do you have for dinner asked the elephants child. The crocodile replied and said come a little closer. So the elephant's child did. The crocodile said come even closer and the elephant did come closer. Then again the elephant moved even closer. Once more again the elephant moved closer. The next second the crocodile snap his jaws wide open and got hold of the elephants childs little nose. Then both the crocodile and the elephant pulled. The elephants childs nose started to stretch more and more.Suddenly the rock python said to the elephant I will come and help you pull. They were both pulling so hard that the elephant nose was so sore it was red. Finally the crocodile let go of the elephants paw nose. He managed to get his nose out with the help of the rock python. Then thanked the python for helping him.

The python started to talk to the elephant and said look you have got advantages. The python said advantage number 1 you are spraying water on your back to keep you nice and cool. He could now also put on a mud cap on. Advantage number 2 you can grab leaves to eat of the trees. You couldn't do that before could you. No replied the elephants child. Once more the python said advantage number 3 now you can spank. Oh I can go and spank my family now because they spanked me hard. Now I will spank my family even harder than they did to me. So the elephants child set off back to where he came from. With him he took a lot of  leaves rock melon and some sugar cane He took lots of leaves and rockmelon, sugar cane with him on his journey back to where he had come from. After a long time crossing the middle of Africa he finally arrived home. He started to spank his aunt hippopotamus,uncle graffe, his mum and his uncle baboon. He didn't let anyone touch his aunty kuko bird. Then after that all his family wanted a nose like that. They all asked the elephant where did you get that nose from. The elephant replied saying go see the crocodile at the river where I walked to on the other side of Africa. So some of his family set off and went to the same river as he did. So now all the elephants you see now have a long nose which is called a trunk.
