I'm already big!

Today is a special day in the city - Turtle is turning 100 years old! Mother Elephant wants to throw a real party for her and celebrate this joyful event together. Baby Elephant volunteers to help his mother, because he is already big! Mother Elephant gives her son a whole list of things to do: take a box of matches from Leo, buy a bar of chocolate, two eggs, a hundred candles for the birthday cake, ten balloons and, most importantly, a present, a watch for Turtle! Joyfully Baby Elephant runs to carry out his mother's errands. But here's the problem: something constantly distracts him and delays him. He eats almost all the chocolate on the way; jumps rope with his friends and breaks the eggs; falls into the river and loses the list; buys ten candles instead of a hundred; releases all the balloons into the sky. And also, and also... he is late to the gift shop. Terribly upset, he returns home. And admits to his mother that he did not complete a single one of her errands. He is very worried about leaving the birthday girl without a present and letting his mother down so badly. However, Mother Elephant explains to her son that he did not upset her, but made her happy. After all, the main thing is not the cake with candles or the present. The most important thing is that the Elephant did not pass by someone else's misfortune and helped little Surikatik find his mother.
