A touching elephant story
While on holiday in Kenya and 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 stares at him intently. For a
good
> ten minutes the man and elephant stand transfixed. Eventually the
> elephant turns and walks away. 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.
