Once upon a time, there was a clumsy elephant named Ellie. One day, she was playing hide and seek with her friends. When it was her turn to find them, she started knocking on trees to see if they were hiding behind them. Suddenly, she tore down a tree by accident and all its leaves dropped on the ground. She felt bad, so she tried to fix her mistake by tossing the leaves back on the tree. But she ended up smashing them instead. So she decided to place the leaves back on the ground and pretend it was a picnic blanket for everyone to sit on and have fun together. And that's how Ellie made a mess into a memorable moment!
