>> Incredible story about an elephant's memory
>>
>> 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 dis tressed 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.
