A man was on vacation in Kenya. While he was walking through the bush,
he came across an elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The
elephant seemed distressed so the man approached it very carefully. He
got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot. There was a
large thorn deeply embedded in the bottom of the foot.

As carefully and as gently as he could he removed the thorn and the
elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man
and with a rather stern look on its face, stared at him. For a good ten
minutes the man stood frozen -- thinking of nothing else but being
trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked
away.

For years after, the man remembered the elephant and the events of that
day.
One day the man was walking through the zoo with his son. As they
approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and
walked over to where they were standing at the rail. It stared at him
and the man couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. After
a while it trumpeted loudly; then it continued to stare at him.

The man 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, gently reached down with
its trunk, picked the man up and slammed him to the ground killing him
instantly.

Probably wasn't the same elephant
