This is a wonderful story.  Alfie, a baby elephants wants friends. He seeks them by asking various animals to be his friends. All of the animals decline.  Alfie is disappointed, however, he is not bitter.  He actually comes to the animals' rescue at the end.  This is not the typical story that follows the conflict - resolution scheme.  It is however, an excellent text that could lead to questions of logic and values.  For instance:  Why do you think Alfie helped the animals?  ect....
