HEE!" cried Little Elephant as he threw back the covers and jumped out of bed. Usually Mother Elephant had to call him five times and then come in and shake him to wake him up. But today was Sunday and there was no school. Besides, Mother Elephant had promised to take him on a picnic today.

He raised his trunk and waved it from side to side, sniffing the air. Mmmmmmm! What was that good smell, so warm and spicy? GINGERBREAD!

Then Little Elephant wondered what he should wear. He galumphed out into the hall and called down "M-o-o-o-ther!"

"What is it?" said Mother Elephant, who was very busy in the kitchen.
