Once upon a time O my best beloved , there lived a family of elephants who lived in a jungle of Zimbabwe . There was a baby elephant called Ralph and his mother and father. Ralph was always lying even when everyone in the jungle told him to stop , including his parents.



The weather in the jungle was humid and fiery but there was a different side to it. It occasionally rained and rarely had thunderstorms. One horrible day Ralph went missing and there was thunder! Luckily Ralph appeared straight away. Now there was rain it felt like the kind of rain of babies drool on you’re hair this was a bad sign of thunder everyone dashed into their homes but the Hyenas home wasn’t there.

E

"Holy Guacamole where Is our home?" mother and father hyena wailed. Mother and father hyena both had expected that that Ralph had stamped on their home because Ralph was watching with a small grin and a guilty face “Ralph did you stamp on our home? ’’ mother and father hyena both said in a calm voice. "No miss" Ralph said but out of the blue Abbey the zebra said I saw him stamping on your home about half an hour ago.

But just as Abbey the zebra said that the thunder got louder and closer.

Suddenly thunder struck at baby hyenas tail like a football smashing into a goal at 100mph. In the morning no one even looked at Ralph they just growled at him and said "Go to the king of the jungle" and he did. No one likes going to the king of the jungle because it’s always for a bad reason unless you have been invited there.

Ralph was crying he sobbed "It was only an accident I didn’t mean it " but everyone screamed "stop lying".

Ralph entered the king of the jungle's room and the second he came in the king of the jungle said “sit downRalph" did you know I can do magic and if you keep on lying I’m gonna put a spell on you that every time you lie. I will make your nose grow and when you lie enough times your nose will grow massive" ". Oh I doubt you can even do magic" Ralph said half laughing. "Oh there is a Lot of things you don’t know about me" said the king of the jungle and Ralph left the room.

Of course Ralph didn’t believe the king of the jungle so he just kept on lying.

but little did Ralph know that his nose was growing bigger and bigger each day. One day his nose grew so long everyone laughed at him. And from then on , Ralph never lied and when he thought about lying , he had his nose as a reminder. But Ralph did have some advantages. He could pick up the ripest mangos from the top of the tree and he could pick up food more easily he begged and he begged to have his nose changed back but it never did .

THE END
