Lying Elephant

A little girl was visiting the zoo with her father. The girl asked, “Daddy, why do elephants have long noses?” “Haven’t you heard?” he said. “When you tell a lie, your nose grows longer!” “Hahahahahahaha!” The girl burst into laughter because she found it so funny. Seeing her happy face, her father couldn’t help but smile too. “Hahahahaha!” “What kind of lie do you think that elephant is telling?” the father asked. “Hmm… Maybe something like this: ‘The truth is, I want to go back to the wild, but surviving on my own is really hard. I’d have to find food by myself, and always be on the lookout for predators. Living in the wild now would be incredibly difficult. But still, I want to live freely in nature…’ Maybe he’s telling a lie to himself, just to get through each day.” size:L55mm
