Dear Mom,

      All I really want for my birthday is an 

elephant. PLEASE let me have one. They are 

my most favorite animal in the whole world. I 

promise I will take care of him forever. 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE?!

                                        Tommy

Dear Tommy,

     No dear, you cannot have an elephant. He 

will not fit into this house! Do you even know 

what an elephant eats? And how are you going 

to give him a bath? He won't even fit into the 

shower!

                                      Mom

"But MMMOOOOOOMMMM!!! Why not?! I 

told you I wold take care of him!" Whines 

Tommy.

"Fine, Tommy. If you can show me that you 

will be able to take care of him, you can get an 

elephant." His mother replies.

"OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK 

YOU!" Says Tommy excitedly.

So, Tommy got an elephant.

At first, the elephant was the perfect size! But 

that was because he was just a baby.

But then, the elephant got so big that he could 

hardly fit into Tommy's house! Tommy didn't 

know what to do. He loved his elephant.

This elephant has got to go! He simply 

cannot stay here! Soon, he is going to 

get so big, he will break through the 

roof of this house! Tommy has got to 

get rid of him.

"TOMMYYYYY!" She says, "Get that 

elephant out of here RIGHT NOW!"

"Okay, mom. Let me just take him 

outside! He can live in the front yard. I'll 

build him a pen!" Tommy replies.

Tommy tries to push the elephant out of 

the door. When all of a sudden....

The elephant got so big that he crashed 

through the top of the house!

Tommy didn't know what to do. He couldn't 

even see the elephant's head!

He just stood there, waiting for his mother to 

come into the room. There was no way that 

she didn't hear the elephant crash through the 

roof. Even the people across town probably 

heard it!

Sure enough, they had. Now what was Tommy 

going to do?! He would have to get rid of his 

favorite pet. His life was going to be over!

"Tommy... WHAT was THAT?!" His mother 

shouted angrily. 

Tommy panicked. There was nothing else he 

could possibly do. He had to just wait for his 

mom to see what his elephant had done.
