It's finally over..
Part 1
Once their lived a king,
as whimsical as... well, a king.
he had an elephant pet..
the animal would never trumpet...
a reward was declared for the one,
who could set off jumbo's siren...
Hordes of men tried their luck,
but gold was not to be struck...
Then appeared an old man,
with a limp in leg and staff in hand...
He hobbled around the elephant thrice,
and finally stood near his rear side...
All of a sudden he made his move,
sticking the staff up jumbo's groove
The elephant screamed like never before
and the old man left with riches galore
Part 2
An year had passed,since the old man triumphed..
King's whims were at their best,
At the center of them, again, was the poor pet...
The task looked straightforward,
Just make him nod and shake his head...
Hordes of men again tried their luck,
but gold was still not to be struck...
Then appeared the same, old old man,
with a limp in leg and staff in hand...
He hobbled around the elephant thrice,
and this time, stood within his sight...
He then asked in jumbo's ears if he recalled...
The poor elephant responded with a nod...
He then asked 'Do u want more of the pain'?
The head shook and our old man won again...

Ha ha. Good one.
I was reading somewhere that this is more or less how elephants who are huge otherwise are tamed and chained. They are chained ever since they are kids. As kids, they are not strong enough to break it away though they try a lot. So after some time they take the chain as unbreakable for granted. Their illusion continues even when they grow up into giants and thus they never try.
interesting...
