Chapter 2 ：Laughed At

Dumbo grew up little by little, and he often played with other young animals in the circus.

However, his big ears always dragged on the ground.

Whenever he ran, his ears flapped around like wings.

Other animals always laughed when they saw this.

Everyone saw Dumbo walking, with his ears dragging on the ground while his body was so small.

They couldn’t help laughing, “His big ears and small body look so silly!”

Dumbo didn’t understand the words, but when he saw others laughing at him, he felt very sad.

They called him “Funny Ears” and made jokes to tease him.

Some animals even refused to play with him.

Dumbo felt very lonely.

Wherever he went, others stared at his ears.

He lowered his head, not daring to lift his eyes.

Sometimes, he wanted to hide behind his ears.

One day, at the circus training ground, the other elephants were performing.

Dumbo wanted to join, but they pushed him away.

“You don’t belong here!” they said coldly.

Dumbo stepped back into the corner, tears in his eyes.

When the audience saw him for the first time, they also laughed out loud.

People whispered, “What a strange little elephant!”

Dumbo’s heart was hurt.

He thought, “Why can’t I be like the others?”

Every time he was laughed at, he ran to his mother.

Only his mother would comfort him gently.

She told him, “My child, you are different, but that is not scary.”

“You must have something special in you.”

Dumbo listened quietly, but he still felt sad.

He did not know what the future would be like.

But he longed for the day when he would be accepted.
