How to Catch an Elephant
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2011 8:05 am
The recent post about the rogue elephant has reminded me of two ways of catching elephants, learned from my younger siblings many years ago.
Method One
Supplies needed: High-powered binoculars. Tweezers. Glass jar.
1. Locate the elephant, looking through the OBJECTIVE of your binoculars. This may take some time.
2. After locating the elephant, keeping him in sight, pick up your tweezers.
3. Keeping your eyes on the elephant, gently pick him up with the tweezers and drop him into the jar.
Method Two
Supplies Needed: Pick and shovel, a bucket of ash, a bunch of bananas.
1. In an area frequented by elephants, dig a large circular hole, deep enough for the a kneeling elephant not quite
to be able to reach the bottom with his trunk.
2. Sprinkle the ash over the bottom of the hole, and drop in the bananas.
3. Staying well hidden and out of sight, watch for approaching elephants.
4. When an elephant comes by, he will smell the bananas and kneel at the edge of the hole to get them.
5. Now carefully sneak up behind him, and simply kick him into the ash hole.
