> As many as eight people on one elephant, first into

> " Our nine elephants, " writes Pavilion Hotel Group

> manager Jim France, " are kept chained to in-ground

> posts, not because they need to be, but because it

> makes the tourists feel better because their

> children seem safe from a tromping when they're

> feeding the beasts. "

> " About twenty minutes before the first wave of the

> recent Tsunami hit,

> the elephants became extremely agitated and unruly.

> Four had just returned from a trip and their

> handler's had not yet chained them.

> In a desperate panic, the four elephants helped the

> other five tear free

> from their chains.

> They all then climbed a hill and started bellowing.

> Many people followed them up the hill. Then the

> waves hit. "

>

> " After the waves subsided, the elephants charged

> down from the hill, and started picking up children

> with their trunks and running them back up the hill.

> When all the children were taken care of, they

> started helping the adults. "

>

> " God's elephants " rescued forty-two people that day.

> Then, they returned to the beach and carried up four

> dead bodies, including one of a child. Not until the

> task was done did they allow their handlers to mount

> them.

> Then, with handlers atop, they began moving

> wreckage.

> So remember, whatever God makes, He cherishes.

> Including elephants, sparrows, and human beings.
