Ellie and Hoppy's Bridge Adventure

In a lush green forest, not too far away, there lived a big elephant named Ellie and a tiny rabbit named Hoppy.

One sunny morning, Ellie and Hoppy sat by the river, dreaming of adventures and trying to think clever.

They wanted to build a bridge so grand, where animals could cross and take a stand.

Ellie trumpeted, 'With my strength, so great, we'll gather logs, and we’ll not be late!'

A big, friendly elephant with a gentle smile, wearing a green cap the elephant trumpeting with excitement, surrounded by logs

Hoppy hopped high, in delight gleaming with cheer, 'With my nimble paws, we have nothing to fear!'

A tiny, energetic rabbit with soft brown fur and a twinkling eye, wearing a small red scarf the rabbit hopping high with excitement, paws raised up

They worked together, no time to laze, shouting, 'We can do it!' in perfect phrase.

Ellie lifted logs, so big and so round, while Hoppy tied vines, without a sound.

Through sweat and laughs, they labored away, building their bridge each and every day.

At last the bridge stood tall and strong, a path for all, both small and long.

Animals cheered, 'Hooray for Ellie and Hoppy!' for their teamwork, so clever and snappy.

From that day on, in forest lore, was told how Ellie and Hoppy built something even more.
