Jesop as “Gumbo the Elephant Boy”
(before the tragic death of the circus)

A farable of Jesop
“the elephant and the donkey, or mistakes will be made”
An elephant and a donkey agreed to be friends since they both ate straw, and they agreed to live together and share. But as they lived together, the elephant became fatter and fatter and soon consumed more and more of the straw. And the donkey became lighter and lighter until he began to fade away. Indeed, he began to look like straw.
