The pineapple and the elephant

A comedy in one dance

There they were. On a dessert island. The pineapple grew there. The elephant swam.

The elephant got hungry but did not want to lose his friend the pineapple. So he asked, “Dear friend, pineapple, can we grow peanuts on this island?

“Dear friend, elephant, on this magnificent little island we have palm fronds, grasses, plants, bushes, twigs, tree bark and roots.”

It is good you did not mention fruit. I have sworn off sugar. I want to lose a few pounds and eat lower on the food chain.

The pineapple got hungry and thought about eating the elephant. A nice roast perhaps. “What! What am I thinking?!! Elephant is my only friend.”

Pineapple got a drink of water and took a sunbath. He could feel his chlorophyll working, giving him strength and energy.

Pineapple and Elephant danced in celebration of their creative friendship.
