Let’s read the full story of Dumbo who was a flying elephant and later became the star of the circus. But his journey to becoming the star of the circus was not easy. 

The Dumbo Story in Short

One day at the circus in the morning time. Storks flew overhead to hopeful mothers. The storks were carrying a bundle each holding a baby. Mrs Jumbo sighed with hope when she saw the happy mothers with their babies. She hoped that there would be a bundle for her.

At long last, a stork with a large bundle flew into the railway car of Mrs Jumbo. It was a baby elephant in the bundle. 

When the baby elephant sneezed, two enormous ears flopped out. Mrs Jumbo wanted to name him Jumbo Junior. But the other elephants made fun of him because of his big ears and began to giggle. “Dumbo!”. She did not care about the appearance of Dumbo and loved her baby who had big ears.

A group of naughty children came by the circus tent the next day. They started laughing at Dumbo and teased him. 

Mrs. Jumbo protects her baby elephant by lifting the boy away from Dumbo. But she was kept in prison for doing this. Other elephants ignored poor Dumbo after Mrs Jumbo was locked. 

Timothy Mouse became a friend of Dumbo. Timothy's little mouse wanted to help his new friend.

Dumbo tried to become the Star of the circus by reaching the top of an enormous pyramid of pachyderms as Timothy advised him to do so. But he failed and this act made other elephants very angry with him.

Now Dombo was sent into an act of clowning where other clowns teased him. He felt lonelier than ever. 

Timothy mouse makes him meet his mother to cheer up Dumbo. Dumbo and his mother became very happy when they saw each other. Mrs Jumbo cuddled her son by putting her trunk through the bars of the cage.

That night, baby Dumbo dreamed he became the star of the circus as he was flying through the air. 

The next morning Dumbo and Timothy found a group of crows looking at them when they opened their eyes. They were very surprised as they were high up in a tree. 

Timothy mouse cried, “Dumbo you flew high with your ears. They are perfectly wings. The little elephant was surprised. 

One crow gave an ordinary feather to Dumbo and said that it was a magical feather that would help him in flying. Dumbo believed him and flew with his big ears.

Dumbo stood at the top of a building at night in the circus. He did not feel frightened. He believed that he had a magical feather and could fly safely. 

Dumbo took a deep breath and began to flap his ears as quickly as he could. Suddenly, Dumbo was flying. Dombo noticed that he can fly without feathers so he realised that his ears had the ability to make him fly.

The ringmaster was amazed! He watched Dumbo fly from the building. He was amazed to see the cheering crowds. Dumbo was a star of the circus now. 

Jumbo became famous all over the world. The crowd flocked to the circus to see him. The ringmaster released the mother of Dumbo Mrs Jumbo and gave them a special train car of their own.
