the elephant story...

[bigpoppapuff]

A young man was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from
> college.
> While he was walking through the bush, he came across a young
> bull elephant
> standing with one leg raised in the air.
>
> The elephant seemed distressed so the man approached it very
> carefully.
>
> He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot. There
> was a
> large thorn deeply embedded in the bottom of the foot.
>
> As carefully and as gently as he could he worked the thorn out
> with
> His hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its
> foot.
> The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather stern look
> on its
> face, stared at him. For a good ten minutes the man stood frozen
> -- thinking
> of nothing else but being trampled.
>
> Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away.
> The
> man never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
>
>
> Twenty years later the man was walking through the zoo with his
> teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of
> the creatures
> turned and walked over to where they are standing at the rail.
> The large
> bull elephant stared at him and lifted it's front foot off the
> ground, then
> put it down. The elephant did that several times, all the while
> staring at
> the man. The man couldn't help wondering if this was the same
> elephant.
>
> After a while it trumpeted loudly; then it continued to stare at
> him.
>
> The man summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and
> made his way
> into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared
> back
> in wonder.
>
> Suddenly the elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around
> one of
> the man's legs and swung him wildly back and forth along the
> railing,
> killing him.
>
> Probably wasn't the same elephant.
