But my mom doesn’t like honey! So how was I born! Elphy wondered!

Teddy didn’t know the answer! So Elphy went to Tigerous and said:

Hey! Tigerous! Do you know how were we born?!

Maybe, the lion, Who is the king, has a basket full of babies and he gave us to our moms from that basket!

But I’m really big! I don’t thing I could fit in a basket! Said Elphy.

So you were born different! Tigerous answered.

Elphy went to the little Squicky who was a squirrel.

Hey, Squicky! Do you know how was I born! Asked Elphy.

I think your mom planted you in a garden and then you were born. My mom did the same think. said Squicky.

Elphy got happy. Because he was born like one of his friends. So he tip toed to the river to drink water with his long trunk. Elphy saw Kitty the cat who was swimming there. Elphy said:

Kitty! I know how Squicky and me were born! Do you want me to tell you?

Meaw! I know! They were brought us from the Big Bazaar!

NOoOoo! They planted us! We grew like a flower! Elphy was confused!

Cute little Bunny, Who was listening, said:

But my mom told me that Mr. Stork, who is the forest’s doctor, brought us to this world.

Elphy was really confused. Why no one knew the answer!?

Elphy went to Mr. Stork and said:

Bunny’s mom told us that you brought us to this world! is this true?

About Lennart Nillson

Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson (24 August 1922 – 28 January 2017) was mainly known for his extreme macro photographs of human embryos and other medical subjects. Additionally, he was the first modern photojournalist in Sweden.

To make extreme close-up photographs, he experimented with new photographic techniques in the mid-1950s. He created groundbreaking photographs of living body cavities and blood vessels by combining these advances with very thin endoscopes available in the mid-1960s. Featured on the cover of Life magazine in the article titled “Drama of Life Before Birth”, his photographs of the beginning of human life achieved international fame. The Sunday Times, The Sunday Match, and Stern also published them.

As part of the book A Child is Born (1965), the photographs were reproduced in Life, which published on April 30, 1965, and sold eight million copies in the first four days following publication. Both Voyager spacecraft featured some of the pictures from it.
