My name is Anna. I play lots of sports! Holly is a giant pink elephant. Her best friend is Jessica. Jessica is a giant purple elephant. One day these two giant elephants were going to the swamp to see their brothers, who are hippos. One their way to the swamp, they were playing hide and seek. They invited Perry their friend who is a parrot, to play with them! It was Perry’s turn to count, so the elephants went off running. Holly was running and tripped over something and scraped her arm! She hit her tusks on a tree so she was a little confused! She looked to see what she tripped on and she saw something very shiny. It was sparkling in the foggy woods. “What could it be?” Holly thought. She got closer and closer and she let out a cry! “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh it’s the ruby of Sydney the third! Jessica came running over! The elephants in Holly’s Kingdom have been looking for this ruby for centuries! Sydney the Third was the kingdom’s queen but, she has been dead for 160 years. They have been waiting for someone to find the ruby for that long and whoever does find the ruby becomes Queen! When the Queen grows old she hides the royal ruby for another animal to find it! And, they become Queen and so on! Also, whoever does find the ruby gets $1,000,000,000. Holly went to the city’s court house to show them she had found the queen’s ruby! They congratulated her and told her that she is now their Queen. They told her they would arrange a royal feast for the whole kingdom! There, they would tell the fantastic news! In that day, she was the Royal Guest in the giant feast for the entire kingdom! The kingdom’s messenger went all the way to the top off the cliff and said, “This day is the day that Holly found the Royal Ruby of Queen Sydney!” All off the animals in the kingdom cheered! “Therefore she is the new queen!” the crowed cheered louder. That day was the best day in Holly’s life! She bought a huge house, many clothes, shoes, a pool, a hot tub, restaurant¸ jewelry, and many more valuable things! Holly became a very wealthy successful elephant! She will never be forgotten because all the leftover money that she had was donated to the baby animal hospital! Many animals in the kingdom admired Holly and wished that when they grew up, they would be just like her! After she passed, a poor little giraffe found her ruby near a lake! This giraffe grew up in a very poor family and dreamed of becoming like Holly. So, when she found the ruby and won all the money, she bought all the things she needed but then donated all the other money to the poor. These brave animals’ actions influenced many young ones in the animal kingdom!
