He tried pulling his nose back, but the crocodile wouldn’t let go. They both started pulling from both sides, and the elephant's nose kept stretching and stretching. Finally, the crocodile gave up and quickly ran back into the water as fast as lightning. The baby elephant watched the crocodile dash away. He was tired but happy about his victory and sat down by the riverbed. (lines 41-47)
