That was sweet.
It reminds me of a tale told to me by a former friend about another man. This other man lived on one of the large Indonesian islands. One day he met a herd of elephants in the jungle and observing that one cow was heavily pregnant, he went back to the village and told people there that he wanted to follow the herd and see how she gave birth. And so he went back into the jungle.
Little did he realize that elephants have a very long gestation period. He travelled with the herd for over a year...
One day the herd passed a muddy slope and one young elephant discovered that if he sat on his but, he could slide down the slope. It was fun! He did so again and again. Then he got an idea: mom ought to have as much fun. So he went to his mom and gave her a nudge. She was not interested. He nudged her again. He went to the slope, sat on his but and slid down the slope. Then he went back to his mom - and nudged her...
Eventually, upon his insistence, his huge mom relented, went to the muddy slope, sat on her but and slid down the slope.
Cool, huh?
