Parents Tell Boy His Favorite Toy Isn’t Lost But Traveling The World, Internet’s Response Is Amazing
A little boy was recently left heartbroken after losing his favorite toy elephant. However, his parents came up with a brilliant plan. They told their son that his cuddly buddy wasn't missing at all and that he'd simply decided to go and travel the world. Then posting a picture of the toy elephant on Reddit, they called upon the internet's army of Photoshop geniuses to superimpose their son's missing toy into as many exotic locations as possible. And the internet answered that call in the most awesome way ever. Take a look at the pictures below to see what we mean. We hope he remembered to pack his trunk!

Well done! I like that the elephant is facing the lights...and that the lights are reflected on the head and trunk.

The "reflection" of the fireworks on the elephant's body looks so realistic that I almost believe that she/he is really there. Nicely done!
