Once upon a time there was an elephant that had no tail. His name was telephone. He lived with his mother and father in the jungle. One day his dad said” if you want a tail go to the city and buy one. “So Telephone started going to the city. Telephone was ¼ past the journey. The next day he smelt smoke. He looked around. He saw a bushfire. He looked in the other direction and saw a stream. He ran and jumped over it and walked forward into the city. He went into a shop and bought a new tail.
