Once upon a time in the colorful jungle, there was a little elephant named Charlie. Charlie loved to explore, but he had one tiny problem. He never listened to anyone!
One sunny day, as Charlie was trotting through the jungle, he stumbled upon a wise old owl named Oliver. Oliver said, 'Charlie, listening is important because others have so much to teach us.'
Charlie decided to give listening a try. He wandered over to his friend, Sammy the monkey, who was munching on a banana. Sammy giggled and said, 'Charlie, you won't believe this, but elephants eat cake with their trunks!'
Intrigued, Charlie headed to the river where he met Lily the turtle. Lily whispered, 'Did you know that elephants love playing hide-and-seek? They are brilliant at it!'
Amazed by what he had learned, Charlie raced back to Oliver, the wise old owl, and thanked him for teaching him the joy of listening. From that day forward, Charlie became the best listener in the entire jungle and made friends with everyone.
