A FRESHLY DUG ELEPHANT PIT 



THE TOP WILL BE COVERED WITH CROSS STICKS AND HIDDEN BY EARTH LOOSELY THROWN 

 OVER THE STICKS. THE HEAVY' BODY OF AN UNWARY ELEPHANT CRASHES THROUGH THIS 

 FRAIL COVERING, THE ANIMAL's GREAT FEET BECOME WEDGED IN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE 

 PIT, AND IT DIES A LINGERING DEATH.
