Synopsis

Long ago, Elephant had a short, stumpy nose. One day, a hungry crocodile grabbed Elephant's nose, leading to a lengthy tug-of-war. This struggle stretched Elephant's nose into the long trunk we see today. This lively tale, inspired by African folklore, explains how Elephant got its trunk.
