  When an elephant falls in love,

  he does many foolish things.

  He hides whenever he sees her.

  He takes a bath every day, and

  even washes behind his ears.

  He tries to be healthy, but

  ends up finishing the cheesecake.

  When an elephant falls in love,

  he dresses with care.

  But sometimes he just can’t decide!

  “Maybe something more stylish?”

  When an elephant falls in love, he

  writes letters that he’ll never send.

  And he stares at the clouds for hours and hours.

  When an elephant falls in love,

  he leaves flowers at her door.

  But he runs away after ringing the bell.

  When an elephant falls in

  love, sometimes he’s sad.

  “If only she knew I existed!”

  Until, one day . . .

  “Who is it?”

  Could it be . . . ?

  It’s love!
