Synopsis: Bedříšek is a boy elephant that hasn't grown very much, but he doesn't care about these things. His dad would really like for Bedříšek to grow, so he decides to concoct a magic potion. When the small elephant drinks a bit, he begins to get larger, inflates... and eventually flies away like a bubble in the clouds! The effects of the potion, however, soon wear off and Bedříšek ends up in a tree, from which, fortunately, his father saves him in time - and his mother doesn't notice a thing.
