If countries had personalities, hmm...

An excerpt from the travel story compilation Not So Funny When It Happened.  What else does this remind me of, hurpderp.

THE ELEPHANT THAT ROARED

Like people, countries have personalities

The premise: a worldwide competition has been proclaimed for essays about elephants.  We have to guess the titles submitted by each country.

The toastmaster starts

THIS IS A FANTASTIC EXCERPT.
SPAIN'S WOULD PROBABLY BE "THE LIFE OF THE LEISURELY ELEPHANT," AUSTRIA'S "THE NECESSITY OF MORE TRUNKSPACE," AND AUSTRALIA'S "ELEPHANTS DON'T FIT IN POUCHES, AND WE CAN'T EAT THEM, SO WE DON'T CARE."
I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA, BUT IT'S FUN TO THINK ABOUT, MEOW!!!

That excerpt was so funny XD. This looks like an interesting book. I'd totally read it if I can find it :3.

Oh I hope you can find it, it was a fun read! Humorous travel stories are the best kind XD

LMAO, I agree this is a fantastic and hilarious excerpt xD Really creative! I wish more countries could have been in there, though...

Yup, I just had to share it :D I would have loved to have known the other countries' essays too, but the ones they included sound spot on. I think my favorites might be England and Germany's submissions XD
