One stormy day a baby elephant named
Eley was lost in the jungle. Then while she was running she found a baby
monkey on the ground, Eley asked the monkey what her name was, the monkey
said" Maggie" in a very sweet voice "hi my name is Eley let's go and find
a nice warm place. They found a giraffe called Gina on the way. Then they
saw a cave . . ..

Quietly, carefully, Eley, Maggie and Gina crept into the
cave. You never know what may be lurking in a cave in the middle of the
jungle! There might be three-toed sloths hanging from the ceiling. Or
hundred-footed centipedes hiding under rocks, waiting to pounce on
unsuspecting jungle creatures. In the distance, Eley could hear a drip,
drip, dripping noise.
Leaving the others to guard the entrance, she
went to
investigate…

Eley followed the drip, drip, dripping noise.
After about half an hour, she found a curtain of vines. She went through
and saw a wonderful spring with a waterfall coming over the edge of the
jungle.
Then suddenly she saw two crocodile eyes coming towards her.
She wanted to move but she was to scared.

Then she noticed that the sand rose up to her
knees. Meanwhile the croc was coming closer and closer. Eley screamed and
luckily the others heard her and came dashing to the
rescue.

They found the curtain of vines. Maggie peeked
through the vines and saw Eley stuck in the sand. Maggie told Gina to bite
through some vines and tie them together so they could pull Eley out of
the sand.
They called to Eley and told her the plan.
They trew the
vines.

Eley grabbed onto them with her mouth. The others pulled
and heaved and finally Eley was out. But as they were celebrating their
victory, none of them noticed that the crocodiles were coming. Just as the
crocodiles were about to get them, the crocodile hunter Steve who was
nearby, had a spare piece of meat and lured the crocodiles away from
them.

He threw it a metre away. Then he found a vine
and swung back to the animals. Maggie was so happy that she started to
jump and hop all over the place. She slipped and fell and laughed. They
were so happy, all of them.
Steve helped them find their mums. He told
them how dangerous a jungle could be. But you know, after this little
adventure, they know this now.
