Once upon a time a little elephant was walking in the jungle and he saw a mouse. The elephant was a little frightened and he began to walk backwards. He fell in a river. When the mouse saw the water splashing, HE started walking backwards. He bumped into a rock and squeaked, "OUCH!" He thought to himself, "That elephant is tricky. I guess I won't try to catch that elephant again!" He went home to his family. The elephant was so embarrassed, that he went home. When he told his family how he got wet, they said that he was silly. They said that if he ever saw a mouse again, he should stomp on it. The elephant was a very kind little elephant and didn't want to stomp on any mice. So he decided he would try to make friends with the next mouse he saw.
