Sammy the Elephant

Chiang Rai 034 Once upon a time there was a family of Elephants. The baby was Sammy. Sammy and his family lived in a big jungle that had tons of leaves. One day they woke up and found every plant in the jungle was a fern. ?Yay!,? Sammy yelled. Ferns were their favorite food. Much to his surprise as soon as his little wobbly trunk (baby elephants can?t control their trunk) poked at the fern and it wilted. Soon all the other babies were poking the fern and killing it. The little ones thought it was fun but their parents were serious.

Chiang Rai 040 That afternoon the head elephant ordered every elephant to evacuate the jungle. They ran and ran and ran until they saw a river. They got a drink but then realized it was too deep to cross. Then Sammy grabbed a vine hanging from the sky and swung over the river and bumped into another vine and swung to the next vine and so on. The others followed. If you had seen them you would think they were big grey monkeys.

Chiang Rai 050 Then they reached a city. They did not know what to do. Luckily Sammy spotted a big building with scaffolding on it. They climbed up the building and then jumped to the roof of the next building. Soon, they were across the city. Finally they reached the end of the dead fern jungle. They were at a banana plantation. They munched on the bananas at the edge of the forest until a lady ran up and screamed at them. Then they continued to live in the jungle next to the banana plantation just in case the forest turned to ferns again but it never did.
