Showing results for "Kipling" in Elephants

Kipling’s classic tale taken from the Just So Stories. The young elephant has an unfortunate encounter with a crocodile, which results in his nose being stretched, which is how he got his trunk.

L'Enfant d'Eléphant est extrait d'Histoires comme ça, un recueil de nouvelles qui expliquent le pourquoi...

The poor elephant's child, always in trouble for his insatiable curiosity, ventures to the banks of the great grey-green Limpopo River to find the answers to his very important question: "What do crocodiles have for dinner?" The answer may be more than he can handle!

This is a selection from the "just so" stories. Just So Stories for Children is a collection of highly fantasized origin stories that are among Kipling's best known and, arguably, best works.
