📖 Story Script
                    Koko:
                    Good morning, Owlo! I am eating oatmeal with banana today.
                
                    Owlo:
                    Good morning, Koko! That looks delicious. Bananas are wonderful.
                
                    Koko:
                    Do you know who else loves bananas? Elephants! Mama told me that last night.
                
                    Koko:
                    But Owlo, how do elephants actually live? Do they live in houses like us?
                
                    Owlo:
                    Ha, that is a good question, Koko. No, elephants do not live in houses.
                
                    Owlo:
                    They live in nature. Shall we go to the library together? I have a wonderful book about elephants there.
                
                    Koko:
                    Yes, that sounds fun! Come on, let's go right now!
                
                    Owlo:
                    Look, here is the book. Wow, this elephant is very big!
                
                    Koko:
                    Wow! It is as big as our school! Where do such big animals live?
                
                    Owlo:
                    Elephants live in warm countries. Some live in Africa, others live in Asia.
                
                    Owlo:
                    They live in forests, near rivers, or on large grasslands. We call that the savanna.
                
                    Koko:
                    A savanna? That sounds beautiful. Do they have friends there?
                
                    Owlo:
                    Yes, certainly! Elephants always live together in families. That is called a herd.
                
                    Owlo:
                    Mama elephant, grandma elephant, aunties and the little ones are always together.
                
                    Koko:
                    Just like my family! We are also always together. That is nice.
                
                    Owlo:
                    Exactly, Koko. And elephants help each other too, just like your parents help you.
                
                    Koko:
                    What do elephants eat, Owlo? Do they only eat bananas?
                
                    Owlo:
                    No, they eat many different things. Grass, leaves, tree bark and fruit. They eat all day long!
                
                    Owlo:
                    An elephant eats about one hundred kilograms of food per day. That is very much.
                
                    Koko:
                    One hundred kilograms? That is more than my papa weighs! How do they eat all that food?
                
                    Owlo:
                    Look at these pictures. Do you see that long nose? That is their trunk.
                
                    Owlo:
                    With their trunk they grab food. They also use it to drink water.
                
                    Koko:
                    Oh, their trunk is like a long arm! That is very handy!
                
                    Owlo:
                    Yes, very handy! They can also smell with it, shower and hug each other.
                
                    Koko:
                    Showering with their nose? Ha, that is really funny!
                
                    Owlo:
                    Yes, that is indeed a little bit funny, Koko. They spray water over their back.
                
                    Owlo:
                    Elephants love water. They also like to swim in rivers to cool down.
                
                    Koko:
                    I also like to swim! Maybe I am a little bit like an elephant!
                
                    Owlo:
                    Ha, maybe you are! Tell me, Koko, what have you learned about elephants today?
                
                    Koko:
                    Well, elephants are very big and they live in warm countries like Africa!
                
                    Koko:
                    They live in families, just like me. And they have a trunk to eat and drink.
                
                    Koko:
                    They eat lots of grass and fruit. And they like to swim. Can we learn about other animals tomorrow?
                
                    Owlo:
                    Of course, Koko! Maybe we will learn about giraffes or lions tomorrow. See you tomorrow!
                
                    Koko:
                    See you tomorrow, Owlo! I am going to tell mama what I have learned!
