The Sleepy Elephant

Story · by Aanya · Class 3 · Greenfield Public School, Pune

Gajraj the elephant could not wake up on time.

Gajraj the elephant could not wake up on time. The jungle was empty, all his friends had gone to the river. "Wake up!" the birds sang. He stretched, yawned, and stomped to the river. He was so late that there was no space. But the monkeys made room and the water splashed around, and everyone had fun. Being late is okay if you show up with a smile.
