The Mysterious Growth of Mr. Elephant. Final Part

I will do as you have said and you will have all the things you demanded. The old witch doctor passed a substance to the elephant. Mix this with honey and have a taste of it, you shall immediately have all that you have wished for, but you must find a way to get the money back from your friend so that you can pay me my fees.

The elephant thanked the medecine man and secretly went to use the mixture as he was directed. in that instant, he grew large and monstrous and his skin became so thick that a pin could not pierce through.
Jumistakenly added a little bit of the mixture on his nose and it became very long. He immediately went in search of the tortoise.

Now give me my money! he barked truculently when he found th tortoise. You must give it to me now or else. You must be very funny, smirked the tortoise with a wild wink. It is already too late now, you cannot get the money from me because it is inside my shell and it is well protected.

He quickly ran to a big tree and climed up knowing that the elephant's monstrous size would make it difficult for him to meet him up there. This inflamed the elephant's anger so much, it ran with all the speed it could gather towards the tree. The tree came down massively and flung the tortoise far away shattering its shell into pieces.

The elephant saw all it's money bags shattered on the ground. He gathered the money leaving the tortoise to winc in pain.The elephant paid the witch doctor his fee and because he was wmphatic about the tortoise condition, he gave the man more money.
Please let us use this money to patch his broken shells for him. The elephnt returned to his country and till this day, he and tortoise refused to disclose the source of their new look to anyone.
