A TRUNK FOR A NOSE

LOES RIPHAGEN

Curious Little Elephant asks the forest animals many questions. When he asks Crocodile a question, he gets bitten in the nose. All the forest animals gather to pull him free, but as a result Little Elephant’s nose stretches out into a long trunk. He is very sad until he discovers that having such a long trunk for a nose may not be so bad after all.
