1) Millenium is alive. With a grand homestead taking pride of place on top of the hill, and all walks of animals (dogs, cats, squirrels, mongeese/mongooses, birdlife, elephants) surrounding us, we chinked our tea cups and played cards.
2) Elephants have uncannily human characteristics. The kids can never stay still and dance on the spot. Sometimes they cross their hind legs whilst standing. Portions of poo are called 'loaves' and are suprisingly handy for making paper... tourists love elephant dung paper.
3) I can't help but think that the joke's on us. Gazing deeply into the elephants' eyes, I see wisdom, possibly sadness. But in reality, the elephants are probably wondering why people want to hear them trumpet, blow water in the air and why their poo is so interesting.
