Elliot the Elephant

There once was an elephant called Elliot. Elliot was a good elephant, except for one thing.That was his nose. Everyone made fun of his nose because it was very long. Elliot tried not to be sad but so many people made fun of him which bothered him a lot. There was only one animal that didn't make fun of him... Giraffe. One day Elliot went to Giraffe's house. Giraffe's mother told Elliot that when she was young, everyone made fun of her because she had a long neck, but she just ignored. The next day, Elliot went to school, and everyone made fun of him again. Elliot tried what Giraffe's mother did. He just ignored. When Elliot went home, his parents told him that everyone called them names when they were young. Elliot dreamed that nobody made fun of him. When he woke up, it was Saturday so he didn't have to go to school. Elliot got dressed and had breakfast. Elliot took a walk to get some fresh air. Then a boy started laughing at him. Then a whole group of children started laughing at him. A little kid saw what was happening. She felt bad for Elliot. She told everyone to stop laughing at Elliot. Everyone said"why do we have to listen to a little kid like you?" The little child replied"what if someone laughed at you because you had long ears, noses,or arms or any other problem?" The big children just walked away. Elliot thanked the little kid for her help. Just then people crowed together. Elliot went to see what they were all looking at. Somebody was stuck in a tree! Giraffe wasn't there so he couldn't reach the child. It was up to Elliot to save the small child. His long nose went up to the tree. Elliot grabbed the child and got him down. Everyone cheered and said they were sorry they called him names. Elliot was a hero!

Hi Yash,
I am truly impressed with your writing abilities. I thought your writings covered a full range of things -- an original story, a well-researched science piece, and exploration of your own emotions. Keep up the good work -- I will keep checking your blog regularly to see what you come up with next.
lots of love,
