Default A heart-warming and incredible story...

> This is an Incredible story!

>
> In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from

>
> 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, inspected the elephants 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 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

> The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the

>
> The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while

>
> Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his

>
> He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.
>
> The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs

This is one reason why it's so difficult to take these OT posts seriously. 'Cause there are so many 'wise guys' on this forum.
