Once upon a time, in the forest there lived a baby elephant who had no friends. None of the animals wanted to be his friend because he was too large.

One day, a wild fire happened in the forest. The animals ran to safer places. The dry trees caught fire and the fire was sure to go all around the forest. The baby elephant ran to the nearest river, collected much water in his trunk（象鼻） and rushed to the burning trees. He sprayed（喷） the water on the fire. Finally, he put out the fire.

Later, while he was resting after the hard job, all the animals came to him and expressed their thanks for his kind help in time. They were now ready to regard him as their good friend and their hero. They said, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
