I just found the article funny so I posted it. Its a nice change from the regular depressing stuff that we read in the newspapers.
Yes, now worries.... I love elephants
I remember hearing a (supposedly) true story about an Elephant that was used in battles a long time ago. He would do anything his master commanded, but would not listen to the orders of anyone else.
During one battle his master told him to "Stay and don't move!". He did just that. During the battle his master was killed.
When the battle was over, the elephant was still rooted to the same spot and resisted all attempts to move him. Nights and days went - and he would not budge.
Eventually they sent for the masters son who the elephant recognised and he was able to get him to move and take him home.
Dunno why - but I always remember that story lol
