Seeing is believing. This is one of the important points for children education.
The director of the Zoological Gardens however didn’t realize the point although his zoo is often visited by parties of school children. He refused to accept allocation of an elephant which is an essential animal to any zoo and had been longed by all the zoo staff and the people in town just for saving money. Instead he suggested the authority that he could make an imitated one using rubber. He thought it could make it as long as he put the notice “This elephant is very sluggish”. Real life is sometimes very cruel. A sudden gust of wind revealed the truth. All the children there as witnesses were badly depressed and tuned into hooligans later on naturally.

Most people recognize that the zoo plays and important part in the education for young children. But the director who works for the zoo in provincial town in Poland didn't take that way. His zoo was poorly supplied with animals and top of that there were no elephant in the zoo. Who calls a zoo where it has no elephant?

On the occasion of the anniversary of the liberation, the zoo was notified the allocation of an elephant at last. But the zoo director, who had no interest in the educational importance whatsoever, decided to make a fake elephant out of rubber so that they can save a lot of money.

Thogh blowing air into a full size rubber elephant was not an easy task to do and they had to do the job in one night to keep the operation secret. The two irretated zoo keeers came up an idea filling the elephant with the gas.

Next day, the full size ruber elephant with extra notice "Paticulally sluggish" appeared in front of the people. It seemed woking for a while untill gust of wind lifted sopposed to be the largest living land animal up into the air.

Poor school kids who witnessed it couln't belive in elephants since then.

The director of the zoo where has 3000rabits but no elephant thinks the most important thing is his promotion in his carrer.
So he thinks it donesn't matter what children are affected by their seeing a spurious elephant.
He orders the zoo keepers to blow air into a rubber elephant and to make it as if a real one.
However, blowing air is too tough to continue, so they They fills the rubber elephant with gas. It is easy.

The next morning, the elphant is soared by a gust of wind in fornt of children!
The elphant is too ligh to stay in the cage.

もしかして、ほんとにあった話だったりして・・

The director of the zoo, who was indifferent to educational importance and cared about only his own career, planed to make an elephant out of rubber instead of having a real elephant for saving the cost significantly. He thought that they could fill it with air and place it behind the railings, and that nobody would notice it was not real because elephants are sluggish animals.

Two keepers were blowing the huge rubber elephant really hard, however, they could not make it big enough to look like a real elephant. They got exhausted and came up with an idea that they can fill it with gas and they did.

The elephant was placed with a big notice proclaimed: “Particularly sluggish. Hardly moves.” A party of children from the local school came to see the elephant. At the moment the teacher was explaining to the children how heavy an elephant is, the rubber elephant filled with gas rose in the air and was blown away by a gust of wind. The children who witnessed the scene turned into hooligans and no longer believe in elephants.
