“Some animals express their passion vividly. Others are almost like humans and more sensitive about it. Aristophanes of Alexandria loved a flower girl. But so did an elephant. Every day as the elephant went through the market it would bring her what fruit it had taken. The animal would stand next to her for many minutes. And it would very gently fondle her by putting its trunk inside her clothes and fondling her lovely breasts.”
