Once upon a time, there was a huge elephant who loved to learn new things. One day, while taking a shower, the elephant realized that she was feeling a little skinny. So she decided to ask the local teacher, who happened to be a lion, for help.
The lion pointed her in the direction of a colorful animal market where she could find all sorts of tasty treats to eat. The elephant was so excited that she put on her pajamas and headed over to the market.
Once there, she saw all sorts of delicious foods, but she also noticed that some of the animals were in cages and didn't look very happy. The elephant felt sad for them and decided to do something about it. She used her big trunk to break open the cages and set all the animals free!
The animals were so grateful that they all joined together to have a big feast in honor of the elephant. And from that day on, the elephant was known as the skinny elephant who learned to be a hero. The end.
