Ezekiel's narrative about Nellie the elephant.

An elephant named Nellie was a performer at a circus, she was enjoying her time there until her home was annihilated by flames of fire. 

Therefore, she packed her stuff and her favourite peanuts for the road then she said goodbye   and began her journey to find a new one.

Lonely, afraid and exhausted she gave up. She fell onto the floor sobbing. She lost everything: her home, her friends, everything. But there was a glimmer of green from the distant land that wasn’t touched a bit from the fire. This land cheered her up again, maybe there is hope after all.

Well done everyone for your effort in the pool.
