34th Festival of Circus - the Elephant's Trunk


Stretch.....and hope for a biscuit. And he got one - in fact, he got lots of biscuits. And the child got to see just how long an elephant's trunk is.

    It looks like an assault with a deadly weapon. I know that elephants are generally nice to us if we are nice to them but I wouldn't want that thing pointed at me.
