"Elephant Joins Victim in the Afterlife"
In the early course of yesterday morning, a 'must' elephant ran rogue throughout the town, bringing on destruction wherever it went. Homes were damaged beyond repair, crops were destroyed, and a life was lost.
The town of Moulmein was in chaos until the bravery of a police officer, George Orwell stepped in to save the town and its citizens from the horrible entity that was the elephant. Orwell, followed closely by a group of over two thousand devoted and concerned Moulmein citizens, tracked the elephant through the town until it reached the paddy fields outside of the town. Orwell mounted his rifle and set his sights on the beast.
A shot rang out. The crowd roared with excitement. Orwell had struck the mighty beast in its enormous head! Yet, the monster still stood, seemingly unaffected by the bullet. Orwell proceeded to fire round after round into the great beast, starting at his head and moving down to target the monster's belly.
Blood and moans of desperation and agony poured out of the doomed, but not yet deceased creature. Orwell, satisfied with a job well done, left the elephant to pass and for the townspeople to ravage what they could from the body of the slain beast.
Orwell is honored for his bravery, but now has to deal with an angry mahout who has one less elephant than he had two days ago.
(Note the exaggeration throughout the article, because I see this in journalism quite a bit.)
