Mudbathing Elephant
"Hey, what are you doing? You're playing in the dirt!" the cat scolded the young elephant.
"No, ma'am, it isn't dirt. I'm taking a mud bath," said the elephant.
"A mud bath? What's that?" asked the curious cat.
"When we spray mud over our bodies, it keeps us cool and shields us from the harsh sun. You see, because of our size, we have no other way to protect ourselves from the scorching heat," the elephant explained.
"Um, you are a clever guy," said the cat and quietly and watched the young elephant splash in the mud for a long time.

Wheee! Look at that giant gray splashy monster! Splish, splash, splosh, go the big muddy water-drops!
I want to wear squishy mud-boots all over my whole body too, so I can be a heavy-peavy elephant and stay cool under the big yellow sun!
