This story happened long time ago when the Elephant had no trunk. He had only a blackish, bulgy nose, as big as a boot. He could wriggle it about from side to side but he couldn't pick up things with it. There was one Elephant - a new Elephant - an Elephant's Child - who was full of curiosity, and he asked so many questions that nobody wanted to answer. He lived in Africa, and he filled all Africa with his curiosities. He asked his tall aunt, the Ostrich, why her tail-feathers grew just so and his tall aunt the Ostrich hit him with her hard, hard claw. He asked his tall uncle, the Giraffe, what made his skin spotty, and his tall uncle, the Giraffe, hit him with his hard, hard hoof. And still he was full of curiosity! He asked his broad aunt, the Hippopotamus, why her eyes were red, and his broad aunt, the Hippopotamus, hit him with her broad, broad hoof. He asked his hairy uncle, the Baboon, why melons tasted just so, and his hairy uncle, the Baboon, hit him with his hairy, hairy paw. And still he was full of curiosity! He asked questions about everything that he saw or heard, or felt, or smelt, or touched and all his uncles and his aunts hit him. And still he was full of curiosity!
