- Abstract
- en_US This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 32 pages in length, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the first level, and the text is appropriately simple. It is a "pourquoi" story telling how the elephant got his trunk. Young Elephant asks what Crocodile eats for dinner and is told not to ask -- until he asks Crocodile. The answer is "Elephants!" Crocodile then catches young Elephant by the nose. After a tug-of-war, Crocodile lets go, but Elephant's nose has stretched. His elongated trunk proves useful. Asked about it by his family, he answers "Crocodile gave it to me." The other elephants then follow suit and get long noses. The booklet finishes with puzzles and answers.
