A little elephant has a very important question-"WHAT COLOR IS LOVE?" All the animals in the jungle try to help him-maybe it's blue, maybe it's pink... but he isn't quite happy with the answer until he comes back to his mother, who gives him the best answer of all: It is all the colors of the rainbow all around you. Nothing else matters when it's love that you've found.
