| As you can see, this is a very lucky elephant. (Boy they love those bananas!) It should be mentioned that another of the elephants on our ride through the jungle actually stole most of the bananas that I had bought our elephant -- which is consistent with the old Thai proverb, lucky in riding elephants, unlucky in feeding them bananas. (Actually, I made that bit up.) |
