Little Elsa Elephant wanted to eat coconut pudding one day.
She went up
to Mamma Elephant and told her, "Mamma, can you make me some coconut
pudding..."
"Oh
yes, my darling," said Mamma Elephant. "But, wait, mmmmm, we don't
have any coconuts..."
"I
know, I'll go get some, mamma..." said Elsa.
"Baby,
you're too little to fell coconuts...," said Mamma Elephant.
But Elsa had
already run out of home and into the woods. She didn't hear her mamma.
Elsa was a
baby elephant who was always cheerful.
All her
friends loved her because she made everyone happy.
Now as Elsa
went into the woods, she saw a tall coconut tree.
Mable, the
monkey, was sitting on top of it. Elsa smiled. Mable was Elsa's friend.
"Oh,
hello Mable," said Elsa. "Are you looking for coconuts too? To make
pudding..."
"Oh,
hello Elsa," said Mable. "I was just sitting up here, wondering what
to do..."
"Are
you looking for coconuts, girl...?" he asked Elsa.
"Yes,"
said Elsa. "My mamma is making coconut pudding... could you fell two
coconuts for me, Mable?"
"Of
course, Elsa, right away." replied Mable.
Sitting high
up on the coconut tree, he felled two coconuts.
As they fell
on to the ground, Elsa ran towards them.
She could
see that they were green and round and beautiful.
Just the
kind of coconuts her mamma would want for pudding.
But as she
was about to reach the coconuts a big monkey took one away.
He ran up a
tree with the coconut and sat on its branch, looking down at Elsa.
"Hey!
That's my coconut," cried Elsa. "Give it back to me..."
The monkey
only climbed up higher. And looked down at Elsa, making funny faces.
Mable, who
was watching all of this, shouted out to the monkey...
"Hey!
Give that coconut back to Elsa..."
But the
monkey climbed even higher.
Suddenly, Elsa
picked up the other coconut and threw it at the tree.
She swung
her baby trunk as hard and high as she could.
The coconut
flew out of her trunk, hit hard on the branch the monkey was sitting on and
fell down near Elsa again.
The monkey
got so scared that he dropped the coconut in his hands and ran away into the
woods.
Elsa was
happy again – she got back her coconut.
"Bravo
Elsa," said Mable, clapping his hands happily.
"That
was very quick and brave of you," he said. "Mmmm… would your mother
be looking for you now?"
"Oh
yes," said Elsa trying to pick up the coconuts. But she couldn't take both
coconuts in her trunk.
"I'll
help you Elsa," said Mable Monkey.
He took one of
the coconuts in his hands and both of them reached Elsa’s home quickly.
Mamma
Elephant was waiting...
"Oh,
hello Mable, you can stay for some pudding too," said Mamma Elephant.
And as Elsa
and Mable were playing, Mamma Elephant made the coconut pudding.
She put in
extra palm sugar and milk to make it yummier. Soon the place was smelling
delicious.
"Come
and get your pudding children," shouted Mamma Elephant.
Elsa and
Mable ran to get their pudding.
As they were
enjoying it, Mable told Mamma Elephant how Elsa saved the coconut.
"Oh,
that was very quick and brave of you Elsa," said Mamma Elephant.
"But
remember not to hurt anyone darling..."
"But
Mamma...," began Elsa.
"Shhhh!"
said Mamma Elephant. "We'll send some coconut pudding with Mable for the
monkey too."
They all got
back to eating their pudding, laughing and talking again.
Elsa ate her
pudding even more happily now.
She was
happy because the other monkey would also get to try her Mamma's delicious
coconut pudding.
