Being the youngest elephant in the herd makes Small One quite impatient to grow up. One day under the blazing African sun, when all the elephants have gathered at the watering hole to quench their thirst, she decides it's time to show her family how big she really is. Yet Small One discovers that being in a hurry to grow up isn't all that it seems, and mother knows best after all.
