I doubt that most hobbits attach too much significance to
elephants, so I wonder why I find them such beautiful and inspirational
creatures. I mean, they’re not exactly pretty, are they?
Maybe it’s because I had two sandalwood elephants as a kid.
My uncle had brought them back from his time fighting in Burma during
the Second World War, and I would often rub them energetically with a cloth,
then sniff them to get a mild form of high. Maybe that’s it. I wonder what happened
to them.
