I wanted everyone in my big land to be friends. It did not matter what they looked like. It did not matter what stories they told about God. I wanted everyone to be kind to each other. I loved to listen to smart people. They had many different ideas, and I liked learning from them. I also loved animals very much. My favorite animals were my big, strong elephants.
