Elspeth was such a noisy elephant,
Every day she had a noisy rant....
When she roared at breakfast and woke everyone up....
Her high pitched tones broke the coffee cup !
One day she shouted to the buffalo,
A particularly high volume and deafening "hello"....
Unsure of how to make a friend,
Elspeth drove everyone around the bend...
Poor, old Elspeth, so lonely and sad,
Her elephant sized roaring drove everyone mad !
The snake just want a lazy sleep,
The hippopotamus, a soak in cool waters, deep....
The tiger curled up beneath a tree,
Snoring away lazily,
Wondered what all the fuss was about -
And why Elspeth the elephant had to shout ?!
"Keep the noise down ! You noisy chap!" roared back the lion, trying to take a nap!
The hyena laughed in sheer delight,
Though he too couldn't hardly sleep at night !
Very soon, Elspeth's voice went hoarse,
She needed a lozenge and cough syrup, of course !
The vet came and checked her out,
Advised her sternly no longer to shout...
Before long, Elspeth was fit and well....
Although she was still whispering at a hundred decibels as well !
Spell the names of the animals....Then list the sound each makes.....for example, a lion roars.....
The prefix "UN" appears twice in the story....can you find them ? Are there any other words that the prefix "UN" can be added to ?
