An Amazing 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 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.
