Elephant Voices

Infant elephants have a lot of fun – so much so that sometimes they don’t notice that others are starting to move on (though of course no one would leave him behind). The reaction of Pat Derby’s son, when he suddenly realises that his mother has walked a few steps away, is so cute! He is like a little wind-up-toy elephant. We are glad if this short clip lifts your spirit a tiny little bit during a time of unease and conflict. Wishing you all a peaceful weekend! Joyce and Petter
