What the....?


When I was walking down the street I saw some pair of shoes hanging on the powerline. And I said to myself, “What the....?”, because also hanging was a baby elephant. When I saw the elephant I was shocked.



So when I got home I told my mum she  rang the fire brigade. But the firemen couldn't  rescue the elephant. The elephant was too big for the firemen to lift so they told the crane to  come and take it down. When the crane took it down they took it to the zoo lucky it was a baby elephant so it could fit in the animal control.
