Little Elephant

Little Elephant can't find anyone to tell him what Crocodile eats for breakfast (all they do is spank him for interrupting) until he asks Bird who says: "I don't know, why don't you go ask him?" So that's exactly what Little Elephant did, only when he asks, Crocodile reaches up and bites Little Elephant's nose! Croc can't eat him alive, but tries to pull him into the water and drown him.

Little Elephant, in his struggling to avoid being drowned, pulls back, elongating his nose into a long trunk! But he is losing the fight when along comes Snake. Snake remembers that Little Elephant had, some time earlier, treated him with kindness and respect, even though at the time there hadn't seemed any good reason to do so. Snake, seeing his friend in trouble, bites Crocodile and forces him to let go of Little Elephant, whose nose, even after he's calmed down and - of course - politely thanked Snake for saving his life, remains elongated.

When Little Elephant comes back to the village all the adult elephants want to know what has happened to his nose, but Little Elephant just spanks them all, thanks to his new, elongated nose. He then goes to Bird and thanks him for the idea of going and asking when you want to find something out.
