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 were 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.
