There is a small river in the forest.The river is not wide, so little monkeys and little bears can jump across it; but little white rabbits and little mice can't, they are too small to jump across the river, and often stay by the river to worry. The elephant saw it and thought, I should help them.He lives by the river.When the little animals wanted to cross the river, he rolled them up with his long nose and sent them to the other side of the river. The little white rabbit and the little mouse are happy. "Let the elephant's nose curl up, and it's like flying to the other side of the river." They often say this to little monkeys and little bears.

The little monkey and the little bear were so envious when they heard this, they came to the river and pretended to be sick.The elephant saw them and hurriedly sent them to the other side of the river and asked them to go to the hospital for treatment. "It's really comfortable and fun." The little monkey and the little bear discussed quietly, "In the future, we will also let the elephants send them across the river." Elephants are kind-hearted and don't care.But the little bear was too heavy, and the elephant found it very difficult to roll him up with its long trunk.Within a few days, the elephant felt that its long nose was sore and uncomfortable.He went to the hospital to see a doctor.

Ah, this is too bad, no one will take everyone across the river. "It's all of you, you know how to cross the river by yourself, and you want the elephant to take you there, which makes the elephant sick." The little white rabbit complained, and the faces of the little bear and the little monkey turned red. "We can't always let the elephants deliver, we should build a bridge over the river." The little monkey had an idea. "Yes! Yes! I'm going to chop trees now!" said the little bear and ran away. "Let's make the bridge into the shape of an elephant's trunk. This way, if you walk on the bridge, you will still feel like sitting on an elephant's trunk." The little white rabbit said.

So, the little mouse gnawed and gnawed on the tree trunk cut by the little bear, and gnawed into the shape of an elephant's trunk, which was really interesting.Then, everyone worked together to build the bridge onto the creek.It's really convenient to cross the river now. After the elephant was sick, he hurried back. He was thinking about the little animals.From a distance, he saw something crooked on the creek, what is that?The elephant took a closer look, ah, it turned out to be an elephant trunk bridge! "Now you don't need to send us across the river." The little animals said to the elephant with smiles, "However, we hope you will still live with us. We need you as a warm-hearted big friend!"

The elephant rolled up its long trunk and nodded happily: "Good! Good! I will still live with you."
