Reading Notes: The Elephant

Reading Notes:

·      An elephant lived on a oasis in the desert.

·      He heard strange voices in his ears one day.

·      He thought they were lost.

·      He asked them about where they came from and where they were going.

·      The men were happy to hear the elephant.

·      They were kicked out of their town by their king.

·      They needed water and food badly.

·      He told them to go to the great elephant at the end of the hill and he will give them things.

·      The elephant crashed to the bottom of the hill.

·      They thought it was the same elephant and felt like they had to eat him to save them.
