so the problem w/ the original is that the modifier "spouting plums of water..." is meant to modify elephants, but is placed closer to "children" which seems to suggest that it's the children spouting water.

try to find the sentence that is both 1. grammatically correct and 2. makes it clear that it's the elephants who are spouting water.
