With us, there is
also a men seated on the elephant’s neck, just behind his big ears. One
calls him the mahout. He’s in charge of taking care and feeding elephants.
Usually, he also drives him, but today, it’s a little bit special. Because
only Doudou knows the way... Doudou is seated beside the mahout to drive
the elephant : « let’s go Doudou, says the
elephant, point the way you came : a left kick to
go to the left and a right kick to go to the right...
- It doesn’t hurt
you ?
- No, answers the
elephant, with my mahout, it’s a habit and he hasn’t foam legs
! »
