the intelligence of the elephant is widely known
we asy the elephant never forgets in honor of its excellent memory
elephants are also surprisingly good at solving problems
an indian farmer who kept elephants discovered this fact to his misfortune
he had noticed that his elephants were eating his bananas at night
nofence could keep out the elephants of course so he decided to tie bakks on them
then he would hear them when they came to eat the bananas and he could chase them away
a few mornings later however the bananas were all gone though he had heard nothing at night
when he checked the elephants he found that they had played a trick on him
they had filled the bells with mud so they would not make any noise
