Episode 11

      "Grandpop was only a laborer and he couldn't afford a high-powered rifle. All he had was a single-shot, bolt-action twenty-two." The husband spoke softly and clear but his voice seemed ten feet away. "He usually shot at small things with very little luck. With a twenty-two caliber you have to
be close. One day he and a few natives snuck up close to an old rogue bull elephant. They hid in some rocks to be safe and waited for the elephant to get closer. Finally he realized the elephant was as close as it was going to get."


      The man paused a moment. When he resumed talking, his voice seemed fainter. "Grandpop aimed for the beast's head and pulled the trigger. The bullet should have bounced off with no more feeling to the elephant than a
mosquito trying to bite. But this shot hit the elephant right in his eye. The animal went crazy trying to find the shooter. Finally the animal left and Grandpop returned to camp."


       The Feng Shui woman held out her arm and made a circle, hitting nothing but the wall. "Where are you? What about the lion and the other animals?"


      "We're right here." The husband's voice was just a bit softer. "The next week he and the natives went hunting again. A huge flock of vultures were circling and landing not too far away.
