Ok I dont know if this is true, or just a joke. my friend sent it to me.
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 and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large
piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could,
Peter worked the wood 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
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 couldn't 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 his stupid ass against the railing, killing him
instantly.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.
