Once upon a time, there was an elephant who loved to play basketball. He was so good that everyone called him "Elbow." One day, Elbow was playing basketball with his friends, a dog and a duck, when suddenly an alligator appeared! The alligator wanted to join in on the game, but he was too big for the ball. So, Elbow offered him an apple instead. The alligator was so happy that he started to dance. Just then, a bus pulled up and the driver said, "Hey guys, want a ride to the park?" So they all piled into the bus and had a fun day at the park playing basketball, eating apples, and having a great time! The end.
