Morselazunt

the long version

Morselazunt is a small elephant who is tired of being gray. A passing magic fish offers her one night to choose a new color for herself before the sun comes up, or she will remain gray forever. She frantically tries to choose her new color but can't make up her mind, so in the morning she is still gray. Her gray elephant friends assure her that they like her just the way she is - gray all over. But Morselazunt still wants to be more colorful so she paints her toenails RED!
