Elfants

It was a normal Monday evening. I was about to jump in the cold shower to remove the days dust and sweat from every orifice of my body. I removed my shirt in preparation. Beep Beep, my mobile phone had received a text message.
Message from Seiphuro the school carpenter: 'Elfants at Mmareki's house'
I shouted something to Matt and ran out of the door, i then stopped and ran back to get some clothes. Then sprinted the 100 meters to Mmareki's house dressing while i ran. Matt and I arrived and there it was, about 30 meters through the bush there was an elephant. It was the first one that Matt and I had seen since our time in Africa. Wow. We were told that it was only a small one, but to us it looked pretty big. It was fantastic. To see an elephant in the wild just 150 meters from your own home is definitely something special.
