I heard it was Barnum, you know the circus guy. He bought a white elephant to use in his show but by that time people weren’t going to circuses anymore cause of movies and radio and stuff. So he dragged this poor elephant around trying to revive the old circus but only lost his shirt with the upkeep. He refused to sell it or kill it even though it cost so much. Smartest thing he ever did but other people thought him foolish.

Anyway I have another Elephant story. In the west when, the white people were migrating across the plains they could not get along well in that country. When one of them spent some time and got to know the spirits of the place they gained great wisdom on how to live there. The other white people said they had “seen the elephant” cause to them the plains were as mysterious and powerful as an elephant.

So Summer are you a killer of elephants or are you an elephant who kills?

I have heard of Abul-Abbas, in our history books, well ok, I didn’t attend traditional school but the Ravens in Germany are SO knowledable about their history of Europe! Yeah, I’ve lived several places…concerning the days of Charlemagne …yup, Abul was once employed by t he Danish King Godfred in 804. I heard you died of pneumonia in 810, swallowing too much of the Rhine. You see everyone, The first historically recorded elephant in northern Europe was Abul-Abbas, an Asian elephant given to Emperor Charlemagne by the caliph of Baghdad, Harun al-Rashid, in 798. Abul-Abbas was a white elephant, a rare and impressive gift. He had quite a trip going over the sea and Alps.

So, where is Isaac?
