A Fable
The tourist had wandered into the jungle by mistake. Suddenly there was a crashing noise, and he saw an 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 chunk of wood caught between the toes, and, summoning up Iris courage, he pulled it out, and the elephant went away. Several years later the tourist, now back in England, went to a circus. Thevery same elephant came into the ring, and they recognised one another immediately. The elephant trotted over and extended his trunk. Lifting the tourist out of his shilling seat, he deposited him gently in a three-shilling one.
