waiting in the doctor's office perusing the literature left tactfully on the waiting room table there was a national geographic magazine left with the choices of that or golf digest i flipped through it blankly until i saw a picture
it was a picture of an elephant shuffling his big grey ass through some suburb in an african city wandering in from the grasslands just to see what all the fuss was about
the people naturally ran around alarmed hanging from their windows pointing from the sidewalks traffic brought to a standstill while this regal and cocksure specimin of loxodonta africana strode down the street peering through gentle eyes commanding respect and earning awe for his leisurely stroll before turning around and heading back to a better place
The elephant comes to life in your vivid descriptive words; beautifully told, captivating from beginning to end, you are a master storyteller!

Well, yes, the darn thing cann go wherever he wants to go. I have found out over many years of watching the "nature" channels that elephants have a very sensitive nature about them, even to the mourning of their dead. Good prose.
Cool pic, sort of puts me in mind of my ex-mother-in-law, though she breathed fire and her eyes were always red, but beyond that the tusks look about the same size...;) Ed

I sometimes wonder why people are alarmed when animals stroll the streets; they aren't alarmed with we, the humans, stroll in the zoo.
They are more tolerant than us.
