The Elephant And The Rat

"An elephant was enjoying a dip in a Jungle pool when a rat came up to insist that he get out. 

“I won’t,” said the elephant. 

“I insist you get out this minute,” said the rat.

 “Why?” 

“I shall tell you that only after you are out of the pool.” 

“Then I won’t get out.” 

But he finally lumbered out of the pool, stood in front of the rat and said, “Now then, why did you want me to get out of the pool?” 

“To check if you were wearing my swimming trunks,” said the rat. 

An elephant will sooner fit into the trunks of a rat than God into our notions of him."
