For my amazing dogs Molly Lou and Hugo for being there for me every day.

This is Adriana Elephant.

She always wanted to be a superhero.

Adriana wanted to be able to fly,

or turn invisible,

but mostly she wanted to help people.

Then one day at the playground she encountered some older kids. One of them walked up to her and sweetly remarked, “I really love your cape.”
“Thank you so much,” Adriana exclaimed. “I wear it because I want to be a superhero when I grow up!” The older kids burst out laughing!
“Silly little elephant,” the one in the large purple jacket giggled. “Superheroes aren’t real!”
“Didn’t you know that already?” the other one sneered. Adriana gaped, then her eyes started to well up. Then she ran home crying.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHA

When Adriana got home she ran straight to her room. When she got there she caught her breath, then angrily yanked the cape off of her neck and then flung it on her bedroom floor

Then she flopped down on her bed and cried some more. While she was crying a fleeting thought came to her. What if the older kids were right, she thought, I’ve never even seen a superhero in real life, even the ones that can’t turn invisible.

A couple of days later, Adriana went to play with her friend, Pablo. They rode on their beautiful, bright blue bikes. It was all so peaceful but then a huge CRASH and CRACK filled the forest they were riding in. Pablo then yelled, “Oh no Adriana, I think I broke my leg!”
