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 distressed
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
against the railing, killing him. Probably wasn't the same elephant.

Thats funny- I work at a zoo, you won't believe how stupid people can be. I had someone try to climb the fence to pet the tigers, who were not tame with stranger. Same with someone sticking their hand in the bears cage....lunch time!
