Nobby, the Elf?

"I WANT TO BE AN ELF" shouted Nobby the Gnome,very loudly, as he ran through the forest, and frightened the small animals who were his friends, "what's wrong with Nobby"asked his friend the Unicorn "We don't know," said Loppy the hare, the hiding animals crept out slowly from behind the bushes,and trees. " I want to be an elf" came from the forest, "he is coming back" said the animals, and hid again, Unicorn waited until Nobby appeared, "I WANT TO BE AN ELF" He shouted again, "Nobby "said Unicorn "why are you shouting" " I WANT TO BE AN ELF" Nobby shouted even louder. " why?" asked Unicorn " Why?" said Nobby,shocked, (he didn't understand why anyone would want to be a Gnome, when there were such wonderful graceful creatures in the world as Elves) " why?" said Unicorn, "God has made you a Gnome with short legs and knobbly knee's, you don't have to bend down to collect dew for the sick animals, i can't do that,who would help the poor sick rabbits if you were an Elf?" " I want to be an elf" said Nobby, quieter this time. "Nobby" said the ancient Oak tree",i will give dew to the sick rabbits to drink,i have some on my leaves, i will just bend down and go to their Holes" "o.k" replied Nobby,"but how can you do that,you can't bend,or walk?" "I want to be a gnome" said the Oak tree, "then i can help the sick rabbits, I will ask God to make me a Gnome, i need to give the sick rabbits a drink", said the Oak tree."but then who will shade the animals in the hot sun, or make acorns for the Squirrels to eat in the cold winter,what will happen to the Squirrels? they might die if i am not here to give them my acorns..." "God has made us what we are to help Others," said Unicorn " if He had made everyone Elves who would give the Squirrels food in the winter? "Or our sick friends dew?,we thank God He made you a Gnome and not an Elf" said the small animals coming out from their hiding places, " and we thank God he made our friend the Oak tree", said the Squirrel
