This story does't hook one immediately, in fact it may seem a little boring, however knowing that all of the Steve Hartman videos I have watched are interesting, I knew this one would most likely be as well. One of Steve Hartman's voiceovers is sort of a Hey! It made me wonder when he talked about these elephants, he said they, "Arrive here [at the sanctuary] one by one, but stay here two by two." So what does that mean exactly? It is actually a very cool story. It begins talking about friendships and bonds between the animals. It at first talks about the friendships excluding the main one that they are going to talk about. They also talk about stray dogs, which seems random, but is actually very significant. It is then told and shown that this big elephant and small white dog have a bond. It was important that they gave details on the dog suffering an injury and that the elephant still stood by her side. That was very sweet, and an interesting detail that further in depth demonstrated their relationship. Finally, it ended with how affectionate the elephant is, that its rubs the dog's stomach, and that they trust each other. This story's aim is to show to others, that anyone can be friends, even when it seems unlikely. With a chance, attempt, some trust, and loyalty, anyone really can create a bond.

The story begins with a hook, that although it is extremely sad makes one interested. It followed Hey! It talked about every kid's worst nightmare, so I was wondering, what is the worst nightmare? It definitely made me want to keep watching to find out more--that this little boy had lost both of his parents. For the You part, it was just such a great story that even made me smile, and probably made the day better for anyone else who was watching it. This kid was making others happy, and he was so sweet and adorable, he was also very outgoing. It was great that they included the numbers of people he had given toys to because it shows how much of an impact he has made. I also loved when it showed his happiness when giving the toys to people, and their reactions. The voiceovers were very helpful in explaining backstories, and it provided more insight, and brought new ideas to viewers. Specifically the part when the kid tells about his goal of the amount of toys he wants to give out and Steve Hartman asks if he thinks he can make it, the kid replies with a yes, and Steve Hartman says, "I think he just did." That left me thinking, and made me even more happy. It also was a nice and sweet way of ending the story with a very optimistic tone. This story can connect to viewers because it is about how a kid, who faced very unfortunate circumstances, tried to rise above that and give back to those around him. He wanted to make a change, and so he did, which can inspire everyone watching to do the same.
