The tourist had wandered into the jungle by mistake. Suddenly there was n crashing noise, and ho saw an enormous elephant bearing down on him. Too frightened to run away, he waited. The elephant hobbled up, holding out one of his feet. The man saw a large piece of wood caught between the toes, and, summoning up his courage, he pulled it out, and the elephant went away. Several' years later the tourist, now hack in England, went to a c.'rcus. The very same elephant came into the ring, and they recognised one another immediately. The elephant trotted over and extended his trunk. Lilting the tourist out of his shilling scat, lie deposited him gently in a three shilling one.
