Daniel in the lions' den, trying to act invisible

What about elephants then? Look, there's a herd straight out of Daktari, from when Saturday mornings were in black and white and television was ruled by the Banana Splits. We follow them to the waterside where a lot of the action is. There be hippopotami and crocodiles, all very dangerous and thrilling, and monkeys and maybe a warthog or a rhino. You just know that any moment now, while the elephants wade, Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan will come around the bend in the river, doing that crazy Tarzan and Jane synchronised swim we used to copy when we still wore armbands in the pool.
