Two elephants sat on a bench in the middle of the jungle. The one with bigger ears, called Marcus by his friends, nibbled delicately on a rather large sandwich. He looked like he was having more fun than the other elephant. He had a longer trunk but no sandwich. This elephant was called Jacob by his mother, but no one else knew that. They all called him Trunky.
‘Where did you get that sandwich from?’ asked Jacob/Trunky.
Elephants are quite secretive animals. They tend to not share their emotions or their plans for the weekend. Marcus was actually quite an open for an elephant.
‘None of your fucking business,’ he said.
Jacob/Trunky prodded Marcus in the side with his big, stumpy foot. ‘Go on, tell me.’
Marcus sighed. ‘Fine, I found it in a chest at the end of a big cavern.’
It’s true. He did find it in a glowing chest after fighting his way through the cavern, which was filled with skeletons that had swords and wizards. The whole thing was really quite an ordeal.
‘Was it worth it?’ Jacob/Trunky sat back on the bench, stretching out his legs.
Marcus shook his head. ‘Nah, not really. I was hoping for some purple loot and sandwiches are a bit shit anyway.’
They both nodded slowly and watched the world pass by for a little bit.
