Once upon a time, in the heart of the African jungle, lived a young elephant named Ebo. Unlike the other elephants, Ebo was different; he did not have a trunk.

Every day, Ebo would watch his friends use their trunks to drink water, pick up food, and play. He often felt left out and wished he had a trunk too.

One day, Ebo decided to seek help from the wise old owl, Oda. He believed that Oda, with his vast knowledge, could help him get a trunk.

Ebo walked up to Oda's tree and said, "Oda, you are wise and knowledgeable. Could you help me get a trunk?" Oda looked at him thoughtfully and nodded.

The wise owl told Ebo about a magical fruit that grew deep in the jungle. Eating this fruit, he said, could give Ebo a trunk. Ebo's eyes lit up with hope.

The next morning, Ebo set off on his journey. He walked for hours, braving the thick bushes and tall trees, determined to find the magical fruit.

After a long and tiring journey, Ebo finally reached the magical tree. There, hanging from one of its branches, was the magical fruit, glowing with a soft light.

Ebo managed to pluck the fruit from the tree. He took a deep breath and bit into it. Suddenly, a bright light enveloped him, and he felt a strange sensation.

When the light finally faded, Ebo looked down and gasped. There, where his flat face used to be, was a long, flexible trunk! His wish had come true.

Excited, Ebo ran back home. He couldn't wait to show his friends his new trunk. He was no longer different; he was just like his friends.

When Ebo reached his home, all his friends gathered around him in amazement. They couldn't believe their eyes. Ebo now had a trunk, just like them!

Ebo spent the rest of the day playing with his friends. He used his new trunk to pick up food, spray water, and even play fun games.

That night, Ebo thanked the wise old owl, Oda, for his guidance. He was grateful for his new trunk and the joy it brought him.

And so, Ebo, the young elephant, got his trunk. From that day forward, he was happier and more content than he had ever been.

The other elephants learned that it was okay to be different, but if you wished for something from your heart, the jungle would help you achieve it.

Ebo's story spread across the jungle, teaching everyone about courage, acceptance, and the power of dreams. And that's how the elephant got its trunk.
