Everyone wants to fit in.  At some time or another, everyone has wanted to be able to do something they just can’t do.  In this animal story, Elephant want to be able to jump.  His mother and other elephants tell him it’s impossible, elephants can’t jump, it’s their knees.  But Elephant believes that if he tries hard enough, he can do it.  He tries dieting and jumping, but just can’t jump.  He gets so frustrated he thinks he’s not as good as the other animals.  Until he sees a boy who is stuck on a ledge.  The other animals all scramble to help him, but they all get stuck, too.  It’s Elephant’s trunk that is able to pull them all to safety.  And he’s the only animal with a trunk.  He is special after all, even if he can’t jump.
