Elmer is not an ordinary gray elephant; instead, he is covered with colorful patchwork skin and he is full of jokes and humor that makes all the other elephants laugh. One day, he decides he wants to be like everyone else and he rolls in some elephant colored berries until he blends in. It doesn't take long for Elmer to tire of being like everyone else and return to his old funny self.
