Summary
Ellie the Elephant was small, but she dreamed of being big and strong like the tall trees in the jungle. One day, she tried to move a big rock, thinking it would make her strong like the big elephants. But the rock wouldn’t budge, and Ellie felt sad. Max the Monkey saw her and said, “You don’t need to be like the big elephants. Everyone has something special!” Max pointed to Gigi the Giraffe and Zane the Zebra, showing Ellie that each friend had their own strength. Ellie thought for a moment, then tried pushing the rock with her trunk. This time, she moved it just enough to walk around it. “Look! I did it!” she cheered. Her friends clapped and cheered, and Ellie realized she didn’t need to be big like the others. She was strong in her own way. Ellie played with her friends, swinging from vines, racing, and helping Gigi get leaves. She felt proud of herself for being just who she was. In the end, Ellie learned that being herself was the best thing of all. She was perfect just the way she was. Lesson: It’s okay to be different; everyone is special in their own way!
