"I wanna look like that little girl in the flower dress", baby elephant argued.
"Sweetheart, you look as cute", his mom replied softly.
"The other day, Leo and I did a race to the pond. When I finally made it near the water, I saw my reflection. It was horrible", the little eyes bulged to show the horrific discovery. "I was grey and sweaty with rough, wrinkled skin."
"Oh, sweety", his mom tried to hug him with her trunk.
"Leo has beautiful eyes and his yellow and black fur shines in the sun. Mine looks rugged after washing so much", he complained.
"Even Matt looks cute in spite of his monkeying around from tree to tree.", he continued."Is it because his mom keeps plucking his fur from his back? Then, there is Cathy, who chews all day with no exercise and she gets compliments too."
Just then, the little girl in the flower dress came running towards them, dragging her mom along. "Look, mom, a cute baby elephant."
Baby elephant blushed and moved closer to his mom. "Happy Mother's day!", he said giving her a straw of grass.

The grass is always greener until it isn't. Hopefully, the little guy has learned a good life-lesson.
