At the foot of a snow covered mountain there lived a mother elephant She had two young calves a boy called Palo and a girl called Mala And they looked almost the same except that Palo had small neat ears and Mala had wide flapping ears
Palo and Mala played happily all day long Palo shared mangoes with the baboons in the forests at the foot of the mountain Mala ran with the zebra that raced across the hot dry grasslands
