Rosa the elephant escaped from the zoo and caused a traffic jam before running into the park, where she met a little boy and trumpeted with excitement upon making a new friend. The zookeeper then realized Rosa would be happier living freely in the forest with other elephants, so the zoo transferred her to a protected forest away from the city.

1. Cars screeched, buses honked, and drivers
began to yell at each other.

2. Rosa had created a traffic jam! The traffic
police moved in to take control.

3. The zoo was informed. Ignoring the
commotion around her, Rosa simply ran into
the park.

4. She stopped in front of the little boy, who
was smiling at her.

5. He giggled and patted the elephant.

6. Rosa trumpeted back with excitement at her
newfound friend.

7. By now, the zookeeper had reached the park.

8. Seeing Rosa in the open space of the park, he
understood that she would never be happy in
a cage.

9. The zoo transferred Rosa to a protected
forest, away from the city, where many other
elephants roamed freely.

10. Rosa grew up very happily.

11. Now, instead of watching Rosa behind bars
in a cramped cage, visitors could see her
among lots of trees, still gulping down
dozens of bananas!
