one thousand and one words

If you show a picture of a cute little Labrador, or maybe even a furry little kitten to Yvette, she will agree that they are cute. Really though, she is thinking to herself that nothing can be as cute as an elephant, especially the one in her favorite photo ever, an elephant covered in a bright orange rain jacket. To tell you the truth, I used to be not quite sure what was so cute about elephants. They are big, grey (although this is Yvette's favorite color, and undoubtedly great), and wrinkly. I thought this until Yvette walked into class with this shirt today and I had a revelation. As you can see we have a little hipster elephant (you can tell because of the glasses) taking a picture of him/herself and if I am correct is holding up a peace sign. If only all elephants actually acted like this, our world would be perfect. Some people want to end global warming or find a cure for cancer, and these are very noble causes indeed, but I have found a new cause that affects elephants all over the world; they do not have thumbs. This widespread epidemic must come to an end and I promise that 20% of our earnings will go towards research for this pressing cause. I have a dream. That one day all elephants, big and small, will have thumbs on their tusks to take pictures of themselves when no other elephant will dare to do so. I HAVE A DREAM.
