Sad story

It's the kind of classical story, the soundtrack, the story, the performance method, and even the English spoken by the characters are all "classical", which is the southern feeling of the United States in the 1930s and 40s.
Because it is classical, the story is very sad.
An impressive plot: The
little elephant secretly visits his mother at night. The mother sticks out his nose from the window, first touches its forehead tentatively, then strokes its neck to buttocks, and finally picks up the child. The nose looks like at first. The hand, and then became the embrace of the mother. The baby elephant sits on its mother's nose and shakes gently, as if in a cradle. At this time, the camera was taken to other animals, and all the children and their mothers were snuggling sweetly in their sleep.
Very teary.

    [she raises her trunk from her cast, but the pain stops her, and she groans as she lowers her trunk back into the cast]

    Prissy: Oh, that won't be necessary, dearie. They fixed him good.

    Elephant Matriarch: What do you mean?

    Giddy: What did they do?

    Fidgity Elephant: Did they beat him?

    Giddy: What is it, Darling?

    Fidgity Elephant: Tell us!

    Elephant Matriarch: Come, come, I demand to know!

    Prissy: Oh, well... they've gone and made him... oh, dear, I just can't say it.

    Elephant Matriarch: Out with it!

    Prissy: Made him a clown.

    Fidgity Elephant: A clown?

    Giddy: No!

    Prissy: Yes!

    Elephant Matriarch: Oh, the shame of it. Let us take the solemn vow.

    [all the elephants raise their trunks]

    [they touch trunks together]

  • Timothy Q. Mouse: You all oughta be ashamed of yourselves. A bunch of big guys like you, pickin' on a poor little orphan like him. Suppose you was torn away from your mother when you was just a baby. Nobody to tuck you in at nights. No warm, soft, caressin' trunk to snuggle inta. How would you like being left out alone, in a cold, cruel, heartless woild? And why? I ask ya, why? Just because he's got those big ears, they call him a freak. The laughing stock of the circus. And when his mother tried to protect him, they threw her into the clink. And on top of that, they made him a *clown*! Socially he's washed up! Aw, but what's the use of talkin' to you cold-hearted boids? Go ahead! Have your fun! Laugh at him! Kick him now that he's down! Go on! We don't care.
