Lincoln had always dreamed of going on a safari. One sunny morning, he hopped into a safari jeep with his binoculars and favorite hat. As they drove across the grasslands, Lincoln spotted zebras, giraffes, and even a sleepy lion.

Near a watering hole, Lincoln noticed a little elephant sitting all alone. While the other animals played, the elephant stared sadly at the ground. Lincoln walked over to see what was wrong.

“Hi! I’m Lincoln. What’s your name?” he asked.
“I’m Peanut,” said the elephant.
“Why are you sad?”
Peanut sighed. “Every day is the same. I’m bored and have nothing fun to do.”

Lincoln decided he was going to cheer Peanut up. Together, they raced through the grass, splashed in muddy puddles, and chased butterflies. Peanut was having fun, but Lincoln wanted to do something even more exciting.

Suddenly, Lincoln had an idea.“Peanut, let’s make our own circus!”“A circus?” Peanut asked excitedly.“Of course! We have animals, space, and lots of imagination!”Peanut jumped up. “Let’s do it!”

More animals joined the circus. Flamingos practiced balancing, a lion practiced his biggest roar, and a hippo splashed water high into the air. Peanut decided his trick would be balancing a ball on his trunk.

As the sun began to set, everyone prepared for the show. Animals gathered from across the safari to watch. Peanut suddenly became nervous. "What if I mess up?” he asked Lincoln.
