Hobo Bobo

Little Bobo the Elephant decides to leave the jungle, where he is tasked with the thankless job of moving logs with his trunk, in pursuit of a more glamorous life in a circus in America. On the advice of a minah bird, Bobo paints himself pink to gain access to a ship heading to the United States, as no one on board will admit to seeing a pink elephant, let alone take action against what is assumed to be a hallucination. Upon arriving in America, a street-cleaner washes away Bobo's pink color, and people are now willing to acknowledge his presence. Bobo is arrested by the police and chained for trial before a judge, who sentences him to life in a circus. There, he becomes the bat "boy" for the big top baseball team, and laments that he is once again carrying logs—in this case, baseball bats.
