The crying elephant

The crying baby elephant

Large liquid salt tears filling her eyes and streaming down her smooth, gentle face. "Why are you crying dear e?' her large ears seemed all the more droopy and her trunk languid, sad and limp. Her whole countenance altogether seemed long dark and dreary. she made a soft stammered sobbing sound, surpising since elephants are such great and loud creatures, she must not have wanted anyone to know, which altoghether made her seem more noble.

When an elephant cries loudly, things must be drastically out of control, the danger too eminent, the injustice too stinging, in a loud cry. there were only gentle sobs. Its an awful thing to see an elephant cry, especially since they are usually such cheery hearted, warm and happy creatures on normal days. An elephant would gladly give you the shirt off its back if you were cold. That, and also you have to remember that an elephant would never hurt anyone, it would be a terrible, heartless thing or person who would make an elephant cry, futhermore, it was an adorable female baby elephant that was crying.

'dont cry dear e, its valentines day', i said as i reached over the bed, stroked her face and gave her a hug...
