==01 There was an elephant who liked to smash small cars. ==02 Every time a small car came along the road where the elephant lived, the elephant would jump on the car. ==03 He would jump up and down on it until he smashed it. ==04 He smashed a small red car. ==05 He smashed a small blue car. ==06 He smashed a small yellow car. All the time he was smashing cars, the elephant sang a little song: Smashing cars! Smashing cars! How I love to smash small cars! ==07 (Music for the song) ==08 One day, a car salesman opened a car store on the road where the elephant lived. ==09 The man had a lot of small cars to sell. ==10 The elephant came along and said, "I wouldn't open a car store here, if I were you." "Why not?" asked the salesman. "I like to SMASH small cars," said the elephant. That's why. ==11 The elephant sang his little song to the car salesman: Smashing cars! Smashing cars! How I love to smash small cars! ==12 And then he began jumping up and down on all the man's small cars. ==13 He smashed one. He smashed two. He smashed three. ===14 He smashed them ALL. ==15 So the salesman said,"I guess I won't sell small cars. I have a better idea." ==16 The next day, the elephant came down the road and what did he see? BIG CARS! ==17 The man had a lot of big cars to sell. There were big red cars, big blue cars, big yellow cars, and big black cars. ==18 "Hey!" said the elephant. "What's the big idea?" ==19 "I'm going to sell big cars," said the car salesman. "They are very good for smashing elephants." ==20 The man jumped into a big red car and smashed the elephant right into a tree. ==21 "Stop!" cried the elephant, before he was smashed absolutely flat. The man stopped before the elephant was smashed absolutely flat. ==22 Then the man jumped into a big blue car and smashed the elephant right into a house. ==23 "Stop!" cried the elephant, before he was smashed absolutely flat. ==24 The man stopped to sing a little song. He sang: Smashing's fun! Smashing's fun! Smashing elephants is fun! ==25 And the the man jumped into a very big black car and smashed the elephant so hard that he flew high into the sky. ==26 The elephant fell down into a lake. ==27 "I don't think big cars are a good idea," the elephant said to the salesman. "Why don't you sell small cars?" "I would," said the salesman, "if you wouldn't smash them all." So the elephant said he wouldn't. ==p28 And every day after that, small cars went up and down the road where the elephant lived, and he would have loved to smash them all, but - ==p29 ==p30 HE DIDN'T.
