Off on an adventure

Asher's elephant decided that he wanted to go on an adventure, so he climbed down off of the bed, which was no small feat. First he tied a jump rope to the bed post and then wrapped his trunk around the rope. He slid down very carefully, guiding himself with his feet, and pausing on the bed frame to collect himself before setting out again. He landed softly on the carpet, let go of the jump rope and set out toward the bedroom door. It was open slightly and he pulled back on it with his trunk and then wedged himself through the opening. Asher's elephant looked down the hallway and decided to walk to Asher's sister's room. When he got to her door, he found it was closed. There was nothing he could do to get it open. Next he headed toward the bathroom. Maybe he would take a bath he thought to himself. The bathroom door was open and Asher's elephant went in. He climbed up the steps in front of the toilet and stood on top of the toilet seat. There was a gap between the toilet and the bathtub, but Asher's elephant could jump across if he lined up just right. He stepped back to the edge of the toilet seat, took his aim, and then went running to the other side. Just before the edge he lept into the air, stretched out his ears and trunk and landed firmly on the side of the bathtub. He inched over to the faucet handles and turned on the hot and cold water for a warm bath. After a couple of minutes he turned the water off. Now Asher's elephant lined up for his favorite part. He was going to run down the edge of the tub and jump in. He was ready. He ran forward, angled to the right, jumped, and landed with a SPLASH!
