Lily, a thoughtful child with tan skin and straight black hair, was visiting the wide, golden savanna. She met a new friend named Ellie, a small, grey baby elephant with oversized floppy ears and a tiny, curling trunk. Ellie wanted to make music for the sunset, but every time she tried to trumpet, it was a very loud 'BLAST!' that made the colorful birds fly away in a hurry. Ellie felt a bit sad because she wanted to be gentle and sweet. Lily sat down in the tall yellow grass to think of a way to help her friend find a prettier sound.

Lily looked at Ellie, a small, grey baby elephant with oversized floppy ears and a tiny, curling trunk, and had a bright idea. 'Maybe we need to find a softer sound first,' Lily suggested. Lily, a thoughtful child with tan skin and straight black hair, led Ellie toward the sparkling river to listen to the water. Mama Elephant, a large, gentle grey elephant with long, curved white tusks and a kind expression, watched them from the shade of a tree. Ellie tried to blow through her trunk again, but it sounded like a honking car instead of a soft song.
Professor Hoot Says:
"A group of elephants living together is called a herd."

In the background, Mama Elephant, a large, gentle grey elephant with long, curved white tusks and a kind expression, watches Lily and Ellie.
The savanna was full of quiet whispers if you listened closely. Lily, a thoughtful child with tan skin and straight black hair, put her hand to her ear and listened to the wind whistling through the leaves. Ellie, a small, grey baby elephant with oversized floppy ears and a tiny, curling trunk, copied Lily and tilted her big ears. They heard the soft 'buzz-buzz' of sleepy bees and the 'shh-shh' of the waving grass. Lily told Ellie that a lullaby is like a secret whisper shared with the moon, and they practiced being as quiet as the ladybugs.
Professor Hoot Says:
"African elephants are the largest land animals on Earth."
Image Prompt: A watercolor close-up of Lily, a thoughtful child with tan skin and straight black hair, and Ellie, a small, grey baby elephant with oversized floppy ears and a tiny, curling trunk, both listening intently. Lily has her hand to her ear. The wind is blowing through the green leaves of a large acacia tree.
'Try making a teeny-tiny puff of air,' Lily whispered. Lily, a thoughtful child with tan skin and straight black hair, pretended to blow a magical dandelion seed into the air. Ellie, a small, grey baby elephant with oversized floppy ears and a tiny, curling trunk, took a deep breath. She curled her trunk just a little bit and blew a soft, shimmering note. It sounded like a silver bell ringing in the twilight. Mama Elephant, a large, gentle grey elephant with long, curved white tusks and a kind expression, nodded her heavy head in a slow, happy rhythm.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Elephants can talk to each other using very low sounds that humans cannot hear."
Image Prompt: A watercolor scene where Lily, a thoughtful child with tan skin and straight black hair, is demonstrating how to blow air gently. Ellie, a small, grey baby elephant with oversized floppy ears and a tiny, curling trunk, is mimicking Lily with her trunk raised slightly. Mama Elephant, a large, gentle grey elephant with long, curved white tusks and a kind expression, stands protectively behind Ellie.
As the orange sun dipped below the hills, Ellie played her very first savanna lullaby. Lily, a thoughtful child with tan skin and straight black hair, hummed along softly while she patted Ellie, a small, grey baby elephant with oversized floppy ears and a tiny, curling trunk. The music was so peaceful that the zebras and giraffes started to close their eyes. Even Mama Elephant, a large, gentle grey elephant with long, curved white tusks and a kind expression, let out a long, happy sigh. Ellie had finally found her beautiful, quiet voice for the night.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Baby elephants stay very close to their mothers for many years to learn how to survive."
Image Prompt: A beautiful watercolor sunset over the savanna. Lily, a thoughtful child with tan skin and straight black hair, sits peacefully beside Ellie, a small, grey baby elephant with oversized floppy ears and a tiny, curling trunk, who is trumpeting a soft note. Mama Elephant, a large, gentle grey elephant with long, curved white tusks and a kind expression, is resting nearby. Stars are beginning to twinkle in the purple sky.
