Animal Non Grata: Elephants

We visited the Audubon Zoo with my sister. Since we had bought a yearly pass, we meandered, not worrying if we saw absolutely everything.

Right when we arrived the elephants were entering the water in their enclosure. Inwe and Larien crushed against the bars, but Fiwne screeched. Fear caused him to hide his face in the stroller. I threaded my way through the crowd to a place further from the elephants.

"I don't like elephants!" His voice near to shouting his pronouncement.

"That's OK, Finwe. It's alright to be afraid of something that big."

"They could stomp me."

But he will pee on an 18 wheeler which could run over him :)
