    Ellie, the young elephant, was always looking for new adventures. One day, near a campsite, she found a pair of bright red roller skates.

    Ellie was curious. She had seen humans use these skates and decided to give them a try. She wobbled at first, but was determined to learn.

    Zippy the zebra was amazed, 'Ellie, you look amazing! How did you learn to skate so fast?' Ellie smiled and offered Zippy to try the skates.
