A Forget Me Gnat

This is a joke that is based upon the use of a pun. The use of puns is intended to be humorous because of how words can sometimes have different meanings or how words can be similar sounding. The answer to this joke is “a forget me gnat.” Elephants are known to have really good memories; thus, an elephant would tend to not forget something or someone. A “forget me not” is type of flower that one would typically give someone in the hopes of always being remembered. A small flea type of bug is a gnat. The pun here is how “not” and “gnat” sound similar and how “gnat” is used instead of “not.”

The correct answer is: A Forget Me Gnat
If you put this letters on your worksheet, each one of them will correspond to a number, and those numbers are the answers to the questions on the worksheet.
This is because the an "absent minded elephant" is forgetful and gnats are insects that fly around similar to small fleas.
