TIPPY GOES VISITING

One day Tippy had a happy thought. “If boys and girls come to see me, why can’t I go to visit them?” she said to herself. so she started off to make a call. Down through the field went Tippy. Now and then she stopped to stamp her right front foot on a daisy. Once she stopped and smashed a tin can. Last of all, she tried to step on the tail of a cow that was lying under a tree.

“Moo, moo!” said the cow, jumping up and running away. “She does not want to play with me,” thought Tippy, hurrying across the field. “I’ll look over this fence and see what I can find.” And she did. In the yard she saw a girl and boy playing in their sand pile. “I’ll go in and visit them,” said Tippy to herself, and in through the gate she walked.

“Oh, look! look!” cried the girl, jumping up from the sand pile and running toward the house as fast as she could. “Why, it’s a baby elephant coming to play with us,” said the boy. He ran toward the house, too, and stood beside his sister.

“I’ll make myself at home,” thought Tippy. Then what do you think she did? She put her frisky front foot down on some nice sand cakes that the children had made! “Oh, please don’t smash our sand cakes,” called the girl. But Tippy did not listen. Smash! Smash! She stepped on the tin sand pail. “Oh!” said the boy. “There are some peanuts in the house. Perhaps if we give the elephant some of them, she will stop smashing things.”

The children ran into the house and brought out the peanuts. Tippy was a very polite elephant as she stepped up and took a peanut with her trunk. Each time she took one, she made a bow to the children. “These are very nice children,” thought Tippy. “I think i will play with them.” While she was eating the peanuts, she would reach out her frisky right front foot and smash a sand pie or step on the pail. Once she stamped right down on a poor little doll.

“Let’s give this elephant a present,” said the boy. “Then maybe she will forget about smashing things.” “She may have my old straw hat,” said the girl. So she ran into the house and brought back a pretty hat with a red flower on one side of it. Tippy Elephant put her head down while the girl tried the hat on.

“Oh, she looks lovely,” said the girl, as Tippy bowed her head to show that she was thanking the children. Tippy was so pleased with her hat that she started for home at once. “I can hardly wait to show Mother Elephant my beautiful hat,” thought the baby elephant as she went tipping back through the field to the circus. “Oh, how sweet you look, Tippy dear,” said Mrs Elephant, when she saw her child.

Tippy Elephant turned slowly around to show her mother how very pretty the hat was. Two monkeys came hurrying up to look at it, and a giraffe put his head down to smell the red flower.

TIPPY LEANRS A LESSON

Soon Tippy’s keeper heard about the new hat and came to see it. “What a nice baby elephant she would be,” he thought, “if she did not have that frisky foot.” At that minute Tippy Elephant reached out her trunk, took the keeper’s straw hat from his head, and threw it down on the ground. And then – what do you think happened?

Just as Tippy Elephant raised her frisky foot, her own hat fell off. Smash! Smash! She came stamping down on the lovely hat with the red flower on it. “Oh, my beautiful hat is smashed!” cried Tippy. The elephant keeper, the giraffe, the monkeys, and Mrs. Elephant all looked sadly at the poor smashed hat and felt sorry for Tippy.

“It is too bad,” said Mrs. Elephant. “But, Tippy, I do hope this will teach you a lesson. Now you know how people feel when you stamp on their hats.” “Yes, Mother,” said Tippy, with tears in her eyes, as she looked at her hat on the ground. “I’ll never do any more smashing. Never!”

And now all the circus animals and the elephant keeper love Tippy. All the people who come to the circus are very fond of her. Tippu is still a frisky little elephant, but she never smashes pails or tin cans or hats.

REVISED:
I can see Mrs Wicket. Her foot is broken and another old lady was giving her grapes. Mr Bean wanted to be like her so he hid in the grass and pulled the doll in the grass and walked out. He slept on the floor so when the doctor saw that, he took Mr Bean to the hospital. Mr Bean slept on a bed and he got fruit from a man beside him. The doctor gave him a thermometer and he put it in the tea so the thermometer was very hot. When the doctor saw that, he put Mr Bean in a bed and ran away. And then Mr Bean saw three signs, one said no smoking and another said no toys. So he put the bear in his clothes. When the doctor used the x-ray, she saw a bear in Mr Bean’s body so they took him to the operation room. When the doctor was about to cut Mr Bean open, he ran away and the first doctor saw him and chased him. Mr Bean immediately sat on a wheelchair and ran away and the doctor followed. They ran so fast and Mr Bean kept going until he saw a closed elevator. He stopped but the doctor crashed into him, so he fell down. In the end, Mr Bean was sleeping in a bed and the doctor was giving him grapes and the band was playing music.
