    Default Allan And The Elephant

    Back in 1988 Allan took a camera safari to Africa. On a hike
    through the bush, he came across a young elephant standing
    with one leg raised in the air. The elephant appeared
    distressed so Allan approached it carefully.

    He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot
    and found a large thorn imbedded in it. He whipped out his
    Swiss army knife, selected the tweezers and as gently as he
    could, removed the thorn.

    The elephant started at Allan with a rather curious look on it's
    face for some seconds.

    Allan stood putrified (it smelled that way) afraid of being
    trampled, but the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and
    walked away.

    Allan never forgot that elephant or the events that day.

    Twenty years later, Allan was walking through the Melbourne
    Zoo with 27 of his grand children. As they approached the
    elephant enclosure, one of the elephants stared at Allan and
    lifted one of it's feet off the ground and trumpeted loudly.

    Remembering the incident back in 1988, Allan couldn't help
    wondering if this was the same elephant. He summoned up
    all his courage and climbed into the enclosure and walked up
    to the elephant and stared back in wonder.

    The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped it's trunk around one Allan's legs and slammed him against the fence, killing him instantly.

    Probably wasn't the same elephant.

    I would have made a "trunk" call to the Zoo to
    check that story out ... but impossible
    now that Barry has had me killed off.

    Why only 27 of his grandchildren?

    The elephant could have had "old timers". With sudden mood swings?
