While on holiday in Kenya, a man is separated
from his group while walking through the bush a man comes across an
elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seems
distressed so the man approaches very carefully.
He gets down on one knee and inspects the bottom
of the elephant's foot only to find a large thorn deeply imbedded. As
carefully and as gently
as he can he removes the thorn and the elephant
gingerly puts its foot down.
The elephant turns to face the man and with a
rather stern look on its face, stares at him. For a good ten minutes the
man stands frozen thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant turns and walks away. The man finds his way back
to safety and for years after the man often remembers and ponders the
events of that day.
...
One day the man is walking through the zoo with
his son. As they approach the elephant enclosure, one of the elephants
turns and walks over to where they are standing at the rail. It stares at
him and the man can't help wondering if this is the same elephant. The
man climbs tentatively over the railing and makes his way Into the
enclosure. He walks right up to the elephant and stares back in wonder.
Suddenly the elephant wraps its trunk around one
of the man's legs and swings him wildly back and forth along the
railing, instantly killing him.
Probably not the same elephant then.
