Once upon a time there was a little elephant. He was pale and small, and he had a trunk that he liked to use. One day, the elephant found a tasty looking piece of fruit. He wanted to get it, but it was just out of reach.
The elephant tried to get the fruit by stretching out his trunk. But even when he stretched it as far it would go, the fruit was still too far away. He tried and he tried, but he just couldn't get it. 
Frustrated, the elephant was about to give up when he heard a voice behind him. It was an old turtle. 
"You can get that fruit if you use your trunk in a different way," the turtle said.
The elephant looked at the turtle. "How can I do that?"
"My friend, use your trunk like a hook," the turtle said. "Give it a try!" 
The elephant did as the turtle said and sure enough, he managed to hook the fruit with his trunk and get it! He was so happy. 
The elephant thanked the turtle and thanked his trunk for all its help. He had managed to get the fruit he wanted and he was happy.
