The Elephant Who Dreamed on His Feet

Once upon a time, there was a very sleepy elephant. Most elephants sleep standing up, but this elephant was different—he was a sleepwalker. Every night, while his eyes were closed and his trunk was snoring, his big feet would go thump, thump, thump across the grassy savanna.

One night, while dreaming of giant peanuts, he wandered further than ever before. Suddenly—BUMP!

He stumbled into something very sturdy. His eyes fluttered open, and he found himself staring right into the face of a surprised Rhino.

"Whoa there!" the Rhino asked, tilting his head. "Who are you, and where are you going in such a hurry?"

The elephant rubbed his sleepy eyes with his trunk. "Oh, excuse me! I’m so sorry," he trumpeted softly. "I’m a sleepwalker elephant. I guess my feet decided to take me on an adventure while I was napping!"

The Rhino let out a big, friendly chuckle. He thought a sleepwalking elephant was the most interesting thing he’d ever seen. From that night on, the two became the best of friends. Now, whenever the elephant starts to wander in his sleep, his Rhino pal is always there to make sure he doesn't bump his trunk!
