Elephant
Posted: April 28, 2004 11:46 am
A man goes to Africa on a safari. While there, he comes
upon an elephant, in great pain, with a giant thorn in its foot.
The man very carefully approaches the elephant, and
gingerly removes the thorn from its foot. The elephant
begins to walk away, then turns and stares at the man for
a full minute, locking eyes with him. The elephant then
continues on its way. "I wonder if I ever see that elephant
again if it will remember me?" the man muses to himself.
It is a few years later, and the man is at a circus back in the
States. He notices that one of the elephants keeps looking
at him, almost like it KNOWS him. The man wonders, "Could
this be that elephant I helped so long ago?" He decides to
get a closer look. With the elephant still giving him the stare
down, the man moves in closer, getting right up in front of the
elephant. They lock eyes. A knowing look seems to cross the
elephant's face. It reaches down... picks the man up carefully
with its trunk... lifts him high in the air... THROWS HIM,
CRASHING TO THE GROUND AND STOMPS HIM TO DEATH!
Turns out it wasn't THAT elephant.
