64 Zoo Lane is an educational children's animated television series that offers enjoyable fun and exciting adventure tales about animals that live in a zoo located at 64 Zoo Lane. The storyline's protagonist is a little girl named Lucy from the nearby town, who can somehow communicate with the animals and specifically talk to Nelson, the elephant. In season 1 episode 1, dubbed The Story Of Nelson The Elephant, the show's viewers get to know Nelson, the elephant, in-depth, and how he came to be the elephant everyone knows and loves.

The episode begins with Lucy describing Nelson, the elephant, as wise and always patient. His enormous ears mean that Nelson can hear things at great distances, and his long trunks serve many functions, for instance, picking fruit from trees and getting water from deep wells. As they speak, Nelson welcomes Lucy and introduces himself to the viewers and goes ahead to tell an amazing story of how he became the wisest elephant in the world.

Nelson describes how he was born into a large herd with all the other elephants, and he lived a normal life like any other elephant. One day, while walking in the jungle with his mother, they came across a wise old elephant who had been kicked out of his herd for being so wise he made them feel foolish. The old elephant asked Nelson to join him and to become his pupil so he could share his wisdom with him, and Nelson eagerly accepted.

From that moment on, Nelson followed the wise old elephant everywhere, learning and absorbing all the knowledge he had to offer. Together, they traversed the jungle and experienced many adventures, including facing off with a group of hyenas who wanted to take over the watering hole inhabited by the elephants. Nelson used his new knowledge and saved the herd from the wily hyenas.

As the story progresses, viewers see Nelson grow from a small, curious elephant to a much wiser one. The wise old elephant teaches him valuable lessons about nature, patience, and resourcefulness, among others. Nelson learns to use his trunk and ears in different ways, such as creating a makeshift bed from tree branches and hearing the sound of danger from miles away. He is also taught to use his intelligence beneath his emotional instincts, so the young audiences learn of the importance of brains over brawn.

Towards the end of the episode, Nelson and his mentor come across a young elephant who was about to attack a lion. Their wise old teacher uses his cunning wit to settle the squabble and teaches the young elephant the importance of avoiding reckless conflict and the difference between might and strength.

The episode then concludes with Lucy and Nelson enjoying a warm hug that children would delight in and highlighting a valuable lesson that parents can discuss with children regarding the importance of taking the time to learn and be wise.

Overall, The Story Of Nelson The Elephant is a captivating show and a great start to the first season of 64 Zoo Lane. The episode serves a great educational purpose by teaching children valuable life lessons while still being entertaining. Kids will love exploring the adventure-filled 64 Zoo Lane and getting to know more about their favorite animal characters.
