Years ago, in possibly Thailand, I went for an elephant ride through the jungle with my early teenaged daughter. She was very much into “how things work”. The guide sat up on the elephant’s neck and drove by touching her behind the ears with his feet. We sat further back in a pair of seats. At one point the guide got down and ran backwards in front to video my daughter sitting on the elephant’s neck and driving. Being who she was she decided actually drive and put her foot against one of the elephants ears just like the guide. Without missing a step the elephant reached around with her trunk, looped around my daughter’s leg and placed it gently back on her shoulder. (The elephant’s shoulder.) Ok, this isn’t a lot of practical help on taming an elephant, except that maybe “befriending” or “establishing a working relationship with” would be better words than taming. |
