(Chinese text)
The Sun sees the Elephant and is happy
The Sun appears and the Elephant exclaims AH!
(Russian text)
The Sun is shining
Beaming and embracing the Elephant.
(Chinese text)
The Elephant represents my mother .
My mother is short and round, but very strong.
Whenever she turns, she often breaks things, and then begins to laugh.
The more she laughs, the more she turns,
and the more things go flying and crashing to the floor!
The Sun represents me.
My mother says I'm like her sun.
whenever she sees me, it's like seeing the warm shining face of the sun,
and she feels happy and peaceful.
