Dan Harrison Elephant Story

http://www.andrewfu giel.com/ jokes/dan- harrison- elephant- story/

In 1986, Dan Harrison 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 Dan
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, Dan 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.

Dan stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually
the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.

Dan never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Dan was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenage son.

As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and
walked over to near where Dan and his son, Dan Jr. ,Were standing.

The large bull elephant stared at Dan, lifted its front foot off the
ground, and then put it down. The elephant did that several times then
trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the 1986 encounter, Dan couldn't help wondering if this was the
same elephant. He 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 Dan's legs
and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

............ ......Probably wasn't the same elephant.
