The Sultan's Elephant on Saturday

In Trafalgar Square, a giant elephant slept near to a little girl. Amongst the large crowd that had gathered, I watched, in awe.

The elephant was adorned with a palace, belonging to the Sultan, where as the girl wore large brown shoes, white socks and a green dress.

I tried to look into the elephant's eyes, but the elephant was fast asleep, unaware of the rain, so I gazed at the large feet instead.

The first glimpse that I caught of the elephant walking was in Haymarket. The little girl riding the trunk became visible as the elephant turned the corner. Music followed the elephant wherever it went and inside the palace, there was dancing.

The little girl looked around London in wonder, sampling a view of the buildings that not many people get to see. The elephant's ears flapped as it stomped past the Trocadero and its trunk suddenly twisted around and sprayed the crowd with water.

On Pall Mall were a number of smashed up French cars that had been trampled on by the elephant and then sewn to the road by the little girl. The little girl was apparently fond of sewing, so I began to check every postbox to see if any letters had been sewn to them.

The elephant and the girl returned to Horse Guards Parade. After that, they danced until the little girl was too exhausted to dance anymore. She changed into a pink nightdress and then fell asleep in a deckchair in the rain.
