Yes," Tora said, "it was mine to give. I'm pleased that you enjoyed my gift as I enjoyed yours." 

"Certainly" Loren said. "A baby elephant  is exactly what I needed on the farm right now! But if I may ask, where on earth did you get a baby elephant?" 

"Ha! Strange right? Tora replied. "I actually won her at an auction in Botswana last year. Oh the adorable little creature and me have had some pretty wonderful times together but now I think it'll be much better if she went with you. I know she'd be much happier on your farm and I'm certain you'd take very good care of her."

"Aww.. Tora! I most definitely will. Loren acknowledged  with a  warm smile on her face. "But I gotta ask โ€“ does she have a name?"

"Floppy! Yup, that's my girl - cute little ffloppy! Tora replied enthusiastically. "Get it? Because she has such big floppy little ears..."

"Yeah, yeah.. I get it" Loren cut in. "Well I best be getting to the farm now." Loren said as she walked to her truck. "Common floppy, say bye to Aunt Tora!" Loren gestured to the elephant and floppy stretched out her little trunk and belted out a tiny squeak from those undeveloped trunk of hers.

"Alright now, bye Floppy! I'm gonna miss you a lot!" Tora yelled and waived from the veranda of her little bungalow. "No need to worry, Aunty Loren is going to take  good care of you โ€“ I assure you! And very soon, I'll come visiting! Alright?.." Loren yelled from the balcony as the truck drove away from her yard.


**A Month Later**

>Honey, if you keep working this little elephant like this, she will die. Very, very soon!

Kevin said to his wife Loren as they watched Floppy draw heavy ploughs across the farm yard.

>Oh please Kevin, she's just a damn elephant! I mean she's a descendant of a freaking animal giant! This is what she was meant for Hun! Trust me...

Loren replied.

>Hmm... I hope you're right. Just remember though that if Tora were to find out, she would never forgive you. Heck honey we could even go to jail for this!

Kevin spoke as Loren's face turned pale. By her countenance, any soul could tell she was devastated by the consequence that could arouse from torturing a poor animal.

>Jail? What do you mean jail?... I can't go to jail. It's just a damn animal.

Loren said nervously.

>Animal abuse Hun. Go look it up...

Kevin said as he went back inside their farmhouse. Loren however, was still left pondering on the idea of possibly going to jail. And all she could really do now was stare at this poor animal as those dreadful thoughts clouded her head...

Then suddenly, she got a phone call: It was from Tora! She was in the neighborhood  and was asking if she could come by. Of course loren couldn't deny her offer, so she reluctantly agreed.

Oh this was bad! Very bad! Loren had been dodging Tora's calls when she could and had been avoiding any conversation concerning Floppy any time it came up but now, oh NOW it was inevitable! Tora was already on her way to the farm and she would arrive any moment to see her poor baby elephant in such horrible conditions.

**3 hours later**

>Oh Loren.

Tora spoke.

>Yes Tora! Is there a problem?

Loren replied.

> Problem? Problem??? Yes Loren! There is a problem. We have been sitting by this *campfire* talking non - stop! 

Tora exclaimed.

>Talking about our jobs, talking about our husbands, and even talking about every single goddamn animal on this farm and yet, you haven't said anything  about my Floppy! 

>I mean yeah! But it's been fun right? Common, don't tell me you don't find those two chickens funny? Ha! Look, they are toasting each other.

Loren said looking at the two chickens.


>Loren?... 

Tora spoke in a low yet suspicious tone.

>Hmm... yeah Tora.

Loren replied nervously.

> Is there something you're not telling me? Is something wrong with Floppy or...

Tora spoke.

> What? No!... Of course not! Common Tora, you know me better than that! Trust me Floppy has been in good hands.

Loren replied.

>Okay, then can I see my elephant?

Tora inquired.

>Sure... No problem. He's back in the barn. Come with me. I'll take you to him.

Loren said in a rather nervous and ominous tone. 

When the two women reached the barn, they saw that little Floppy had collapsed on the floor due to overworking and untreated injuries. 

>Floppy!!!

Tora belted out as she ran to the distressed elephant.

>What? What?...What the hell did you do to my Floppy Loren?!!!!

She cried.

>What? Me?... No, no! 
I didn't do anything! I'm just as surprised to see her in this condition as you are!

Loren replied with a rather doubtful tone in her voice. And by the smirk on her face, Tora could tell she was lying. This made Tora very mad that she yelled:

> Lies! Liar! You're smiling huh? Just you wait, I'm gonna kill....

Suddenly, Tora felt a hard thud on her head before slowly passing out.

> Good job Honey! But what the hell took you so long though?..

Loren asked the figure that slowly emerged from the darkness behind Tora's body.

>Sorry, Hun. I just had to find the right shovel.

Kevin, Loren's husband, replied.

>Hmm okay then. Either way, the job is done. Common, help me get rid of her body.

Loren instructed her husband.
