Milo the Elephant

Once, I was sad. I had no friends. Then, I met Milo. Milo is big. Milo is gray. Milo is an elephant!

Milo likes to play. We play hide-and-seek. Milo hides behind big trees. I can always see him. He is too big! We laugh and laugh.

Milo loves to eat. He eats lots of green leaves. He eats yummy fruit. I give him my apple. He eats it in one bite!

Milo is funny. He sprays water with his trunk. Sometimes, he sprays me! I get wet. It is okay. I like it.

Milo and I are best friends. We play every day. I am happy I met Milo. Milo makes me smile.
