Eliot thought he was born with the wrong body. It was a small gray elephant that liked very much the

sea

and very little the savanna. I dreamed of being a fish and being able to surf the waves that broke on the shore. Since I was very little I spent hours playing in the sand making huge castles

, that admired the starfish and that served as a hiding place for the conch shells. The crabs were more cantankerous, because they did not understand why Eliot was always on the beach instead of going with his friends the elephants. Besides, whenever they could, they reminded him that this was not his place.However, the gulls, flying over the coast, supported and defended him: "Do not worry about what they say, if you like the sea this is your place. Being different is not bad or being weird. Being different does not mean anything. The question is to understand it, accept it and celebrate our

individuality ". But Eliot was sad because he did not like his body. It was big and heavy and had no fins to swim. The turtles wanted to encourage Eliot because they were his friends. They, who also did not have fins and also carried their heavy house, were the perfect teachers to teach Eliot to swim. It was not easy, but the little elephant supplied his lack of skill with great enthusiasm and with a lot of willpower. Many hours devoted to learning and thanks to the

perseverance and hard work he managed to swim as well as any fish. Now he did like his body, because he had learned to use it to do what he liked best.Eliot not only got to swim. He made many new friends at sea and also learned that prejudices should not be limits for one to be happy.
