MY CHILDHOOD STORIES ABOUT ELEPHANTS::::
I grew up believing in 2 things that elephants never forgets and they are afraid of mice ,,haha
an elephant never forgets because the area of the brain associated with memory is large and denser than that of people and hence the saying “elephants never forgets”
Elephants are afraid of mice because their fear that mice will crawl up their trunks which cause blockage,irritation and maybe making it hard for elephants to breathe well (well that’s my saying and i still believe in it)
