" 'Then the elephant's child sat back on his little
haunches and pulled, and pulled, and pulled, and his nose
began to stretch. And the crocodile floundered toward
the bank, making the water all creamy with great sweeps
of his tail, and he pulled, and pulled, and pulled.' "—
Rudyard Kipling, children's story, quoted in Wayne Frair
and Percival Davis, Case for Creation (1983), p. 130.
And that is how the elephant got its long nose.
