The elephants at Qinglin Ranch quickly became a sensation among the visitors, and more and more people gathered around their enclosure to watch.
The Happy Elephants were naturally friendly toward humans, so they weren't afraid of crowds at all. If anything, their ability to spread happiness meant that even their casual antics could make everyone laugh.
They were especially considerate toward people who looked upset. The elephants would even pluck up a tuft of grass and offer it to them. With their silly, adorable looks and their knack for spreading joy, they never failed to cheer people up.
More and more visitors also realized how clever the elephants were. One girl, looking for comfort, asked an elephant if she was pretty. To her surprise, it actually answered with a trumpet.
The girl then told it to trumpet once if she wasn't pretty and twice if she was. The elephant actually understood and trumpeted twice.
Another girl asked one of the ranch's elephants for a hug. The elephant really did wrap its long trunk around her waist, then gently nuzzled her with its head.
It was hard to describe them as anything but magical.
Before long, word of the Happy Elephants' many extraordinary behaviors had spread online. Every one of their antics had all the makings of a viral hit.
With the buzz around Qinglin Villa behind them, the Happy Elephants took the internet by storm in just a few days.
Videos of them consoling crying girls, answering questions, and giving hugs all racked up countless likes.
Naturally, the most popular clips were of the Happy Elephants plucking up grass with their trunks and offering it to people.
Almost every day, someone filmed an elephant offering grass to a visitor, delighting viewers.
