IN THE WINDOW SHE CAN SEE

MANY ELEPHANTS. WOOOW!

TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS!

EVERYBODY RUNS OUT AS

FAST AS THEY CAN. THEY

ARE SO SCARED,

SHE TRIES TO TALK TO

THEM, SHE TOUCHES

THE SCREEN

BUT NOTHING HAPPENS.

NOT REALLY HERE!

I JUST WANT TO HAVE

FRIENDS.

ALONE.

VENDOR, WITH HIS KART

FULL OF COCONUTS!

WOOW! SO MANY BALLS! I

WANT TO PLAY WITH THEM!

 ROSA GRABS A COCONUT AND

STARTS THROWING IT UP IN THE

AIR.

OOPS!

THE COCONUT FLIES SO SO HIGH

THAT SHE CAN'T SEE IT.

WHERE IS THE BALL?
 THE BALL LANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK.

INSIDE THERE IS A BOY.

HE IS PLAYING IN THE PARK WHEN HE FINDS THE COCONUT.

 ROSA CROSSES THE

STREET.

IMAGINE THAT!

AN ELEPHANT WALKING

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

STREET!

 THE CITY WAS A MESS.

CARS AND BUSES ARE

STUCKED IN THE MIDDLE

OF THE CITY.

IT IS A TRAFFIC JAM!

PEOPLE ARE ANGRY.

PEOPLE YELL AT EACH

OTHER.
 AT THE BLINK OF AN

EYE, ROSA GETS TO THE

PARK.

HER COCONUT BALL.

WITH IT.
 THE POLICE SOON

REACHES THE ZOO.

ELEPHANT IS IN THE PARK?

IT IS CAUSING DISASTERS

IN THE CITY! - THE POLICE

OFFICER SAYS.
 IN THE PARK, ROSA MEETS THE BOY.
HE IS NOT AFRAID OF HER, HE IS VERY HAPPY
FINALLY! I HAVE GOT A FRIEND, SOMEONE TO PLAY, SOMEONE WHO IS NOT
AFRAID OF ME.
 HELLO LITTLE FRIEND! MY NAME IS ROSA!
DO YOU WANT TO BE MY FRIEND? DO YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH ME?
 FINALLY, THE ZOOKEEPER ARRIVES AT THE PARK.
HE SEES THAT ROSA IS HAPPY, IN THE OPEN AIR.
HE REALISES THAT ROSA CAN'T BE IN A CAGE, SHE NEEDS TO BE FREE.
 ROSA NOW LIVES IN A PROTECTED SHELTER FOR ELEPHANTS.
YES! SHE LIVES WITH OTHER ELEPHANTS, FINALLY SHE HAS GOT NEW FRIENDS.
SHE NOW HAS A FAMILY.
NOW, PEOPLE CAN STILL SEE ROSA EAT A DOZEN BANANAS IN ONE GO,
BUT NOW SHE IS FREE, SHE DOESN'T LIVE IN A CAGE ANYMORE.
