There was an unusual story from Thailand this week.
An elephant managed to escape from a nature reserve. He wandered 1km away from the park entrance, and went into a corner store. He then started stealing groceries from the shelves to eat. He managed to grab nine bags of sweet rice crackers, one sandwich and one banana.
Perhaps the elephant had heard about the growing popularity of cashless payments?
I also worry about this elephant’s diet. Surely a healthy elephant should choose nine bananas and one bag of sweet rice crackers as a snack, not the other way around?
Congratulations to the impressive corner shop staff members, who bravely shooed the elephant out of the store. That is one customer I wouldn’t like to make angry.
Vocabulary:
to shoo an animal or person (out, away,
etc.) – to drive an animal or person (away, out, etc.) by making “shoo” sounds
or gestures to encourage them to leave
[eg., a bird was attracted by my
lunch. So I waved my hand at it and
tried to shoo it away]
