<\/div>\n“Have you ever heard of a fiction where a little girl asked her father what an elephant was?”<\/p>\n
There was a long pause in the middle of daylight with the wind blowing against the somewhat empty savanna.<\/p>\n
“Yes I have. The father somewhat struggled to describe the elephant”. Humlind face was expressionless, as expressionless as the dead mammal in front of them, Chiron observed.<\/p>\n
“Well, this might be the last of their kind we have ever seen. I guess we would be the father in that story”. Chiron’s voice almost broke when he uttered the words.<\/p>\n
“No, we’ve seen an elephant and so we could describe it well”.<\/p>\n
“I’d suppose. But my boy would have a problem with that”.<\/p>\n
“No doubt”.<\/p>\n
Another long pause but Chiron broke the silence before it got too awkward. “You know, Hammurabi once said, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth…”<\/p>\n
“An eye for an eye…” Humlind cut Chiron short. “I’d wish it were applicable to all lives.”<\/p>\n
“Oh it is. Trust me it is.” A scent of anger was noticeable in Chiron’s voice. “I’m going for the poacher with my gun”.<\/p>\n
Humlind stared at Chiron. “You aren’t serious, are you?”<\/p>\n
