Once there was an elephant who had a very bad cold. He was all stuffed up, and he couldn’t breathe through his nose. “No one has ever suffered as much as I,” he said to himself. Eventually he became convinced that his hours were numbered, so he gathered his family and friends around him and gave away all his possessions. The next day, he woke up in perfect health. And penniless. The moral is: Just because your trunk is packed, doesn’t mean you’re ready to go. ---
