The Walmart Elephant

On our night drive we didn't see the first elephant. Since being in Africa since October, we have not seen any elephants, and we were starting to wonder whether they even had elephants in Zambia.
So, the next morning the Howards took us back into the park for a morning drive. Ricky was very doubtful that we would see an elephant. Finally, there appeared one lonely elephant near our path. Because there was only one, Ricky joked that our friends must have purchased that elephant from Walmart and placed it where we would be driving, so as to convince Ricky there were elephants in Zambia. We joked about the Walmart elephant the whole morning, until near the end of our drive, we came upon a herd of elephants from babies to big daddies. We just sat in awe at their beauty and grandness.
So, now Ricky believes there ARE elephants in Zambia, and they didn't come from Walmart!
