Subject: INCREDIBLE STORY In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University
On a hike through the bush, he came across a
young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.
The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter
approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee, inspected the
elephants foot, andfound a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.
As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife,
after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man, and with
a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.
Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else
but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly,
turned, and walked away.
Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through
the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son.
As they approached the elephant enclosure, one
of the creatures turned and
walked over to near where Peter and his son
Cameron were standing.
The large bull elephant stared at Peter,
lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.
The elephant did that several times then
trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could
not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter 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.
The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its
trunk around one of Peter legs
and slammed him against the railing,
killing him instantly.
Probably wasn't the same fucking elephant. This is for everyone who sends
me those heart-warming
bullshit stories. |
