Once in the sunny savanna lived a little elephant named Elli. Elli was a curious and dreamy elephant, and every day he gazed at the distant horizon where the sun shone brightly.

Determined, Elli began his journey across the wide savanna. Along the way, he met many familiar animals, each offering him advice. The first friend he encountered was a zebra named Zara.

"Hi, Zara!" said Elli. "I’m going on a journey to find a place where the sun always shines!"

Zara smiled and replied, "Oh, Elli, that sounds wonderful! But be careful, the journey may be long. Remember to rest and drink water so you don’t get tired!"

Elli thanked Zara and continued on, keeping her wise words in mind. He walked on and soon heard the cheerful sound of water splashing. As he got closer, he saw his friend, a hippo named Bobby, happily splashing in a pond.

"Hi, Bobby!" called Elli. "I’m going on a long journey to find a place where the sun always shines."

Bobby looked at him and said, "Traveling is wonderful! But, Elli, don’t forget to take breaks and enjoy everything around you. The journey itself can be exciting!"

Elli thought about Bobby’s words and promised himself to pay attention to everything around him. He said goodbye to his friend and continued on his way.

Soon he met his friend, a giraffe named Gina, who was nibbling leaves from a tall tree.

"Hi, Gina!" called Elli. "You can see far! Am I close to the place where the sun always shines?"

Gina lowered her head and smiled, "You’ve already come a long way, Elli, but the sun is always where you go. Just keep moving forward, and each step will make you stronger!"

Elli thanked Gina for her wise advice and continued on his journey. The day was drawing to a close, and the sunset began to appear on the horizon. Elli knew it was time to rest for the night, so he settled down under a large tree.

When he woke up in the morning, the sun was shining brightly again, and Elli felt refreshed. He continued his journey and soon saw a familiar little figure. It was a small turtle named Tina.

"Hi, Tina!" said Elli. "I’m still looking for a place where the sun always shines."

Tina slowly shook her head and replied, "Elli, the sun shines wherever you go and when you’re happy. Just be yourself, and the sun will be with you everywhere."

Elli smiled. He realized that his journey had already brought him so much joy and so many new discoveries.

At the end of the day, after a long walk, Elli climbed a tall hill to see everything around him. From the top of the hill, he saw a beautiful view of the savanna and understood that the sun truly lights his path wherever he goes.
