Baby Ele stood very still beside his Oreo gingerbread house, feeling warm all the way to his ears, and he said, “I made this myself.”

Baby Ele packed the snow with his trunk while Chai Bear patted it gently, and together they made a Snow Elephant that leaned a little to the left.

“Chai,” whispered Baby Ele, his tiny trunk curling with anticipation, “do you think it will be as wonderful as everyone says?”
Chai Bear folded his paws thoughtfully.
“I believe,” he said, “that anything called For Good must be very special indeed.” #wicked

Baby Ele was sad to leave the beach.
Chai Bear was sad too.
Their new friend, Seal, popped her head from the waves.
“Don’t be sad,” said Seal. “The sea will wait for you.”
