Billy had a big friend, an elephant named Ellie. They met under the sun.

Ellie's skin was like gray armor, but she was kind. Billy liked to hug her trunk.

They played hide-and-seek. Ellie was big, so it was hard for her to hide.

One day, Ellie felt sad. Billy asked, 'Why are you sad, Ellie?'

Ellie missed her family. Billy held her trunk and listened to her story.

Billy made a picture of Ellie's family. Ellie trumpeted with joy!

They visited the lake. Ellie sprayed water into the air, and Billy laughed.

Ellie helped Billy reach apples in a tall tree. They enjoyed a snack.

Billy felt scared at night. Ellie stood by him. 'I'll keep you safe,' she said.

The stars twinkled as they shared stories. They felt happy together.

One sunny morning, the two made paw and footprints together in the mud.

Ellie was Billy's best friend. They promised to have adventures every day.
