Parable of the Elephant






Parable ofthe Elephant








An African elephant lived in a zoo and oftenperformed in a circus doing tricks. His keeper dominated him, oppressing his natural desire to be free. The trainer made him do tricks he had no desire to do, but he went along with the program.

One day theelephant got tired of following commands. He no longer wanted tostand on his hind legs or on one leg.

He rebelled and stomped his trainer. Whenhis master came to the rescue, the elephant stomped him too. He broke from the circus arena and went on a rampage through the street, snatching other people and slamming them to the ground.

The police arrivedand shot the elephant until he fell to the ground. No more tricks. No more standing on one leg. Free at last.
