1. In the middle of a big city, there was a small
zoo, and inside lived a baby elephant.

2. Her name was Rosa.

3. The zookeeper loved little Rosa very much
and cared for her in every possible way.

4. Many visitors came to see Rosa and watched
in fascination as she ate a dozen bananas in
one go.

5. Rosa was well looked after, but she missed
the company of other elephants.

6. One day, after feeding Rosa, the keeper
forgot to lock the door of her cage.

7. Soon she was out of the zoo! First, she came
across an ice cream vendor standing by the
roadside.

8. He saw Rosa and ran away.

9. The curious little elephant stuck her trunk
into the icebox.
