The story is part of the African Storybook Initiative and is reformatted for Bloom by Kent Schroeder. It can be freely adapted and used commercially under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, requiring only the preservation of copyright and credits. The narrative begins by stating a known fact about elephants' long noses and then delves into a past where elephant noses were short and fat, resembling shoes. The story centers on a curious baby elephant who questions other animals about their unique physical characteristics. She inquires of the Giraffe why its neck is long, of the Rhino about its sharp horn, and of the Hippo regarding its red eyes. This establishes the protagonist's inquisitive nature and sets the stage for an exploration of animal adaptations and the origins of their features. The document emphasizes the importance of curiosity in understanding the natural world and encourages readers to engage with the story's themes of learning and discovery.","Curious baby elephant  \nEnglish Story Book  \nCurious baby elephant  \nWriter: Judith Baker and Lorato Trok Illustration: Wiehan de Jager Reformatted for Bloom by: Kent Schroeder [www.africanstorybook.org](www.africanstorybook.org)[ ](www.africanstorybook.org)A Saide Initiative  \nEnglish  \nAuthor-Judith Baker and Lorato Trok Illustrations-Wiehan de Jager  \nCopyright © 2015, African Storybook Initiative  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.
