How The Elephant Got A Long Trunk

One snowy day Elephant invited Parrot to his house to be warm and play chess. So when Parrot replied like this:" I'm sure I am going to win, but OK...", they set off. "Welcome to my wonderful warm winter home! Now let's play some chess!" Soon the chess game was over, unexpectedly quickly. "Ha,ha,ha, I win!" Parrot exclaimed nastily, with a smirk on his face. But Elephant knew what to say back, so he replied with, "You are so incredibly mean Parrot!!I don't like you anymore!"

The dark starry night soon arrived and Parrot spotted a somewhere cosy to sleep in Elephant's little cottage. He couldn't get to sleep because the annoying comment kept ringing through his mind, he kept trying to cook up a nice big payback.This is what kept him thinking....

"I've got an idea, because I always thought his trunk looked weird, it's payback and it's good." He shouted such a horrible compliment that Parrot felt he should do something back.
Soon he fell asleep and morning came too quickly.Suddenly, however, he remembered his fantastic plan, "I must be ready!" He thought, "I must be ready, Elephant will want to play soon."

Parrot was right, Elephant woke up and asked to
play! "Parrot, come play with me! Hurry up!!" Elephant yelled as loud as a lion's roar. "Well, first I have a surprise for you! Come here!"

So for the next 10 minutes Parrot carried out Elephant's payback, Parrot pulled on Elephant's short trunk and it extended.
Nowadays Elephants have long trunks.
