An elephant ran away from the circus

and ended up in a little old lady’s back garden. The lady had never seen an elephant before, so she rang the police.

“Please come quickly,” she said to the policeman who answered the phone. “There’s a strange looking animal in my garden picking up cabbages with its tail.”

“What’s it doing with them?” asked the policeman.

“If I told you,” said the old lady, “you’d never believe me!”
