Elephants  

One day, back in the early 70's, I decided to collect elephants.  Over the years I've accumulated a few hundred.  Since these things are "dust collectors",  I now just look for really interesting or unique stuff.   Also it's started getting kind of crowded in my herd!  So I packed away a lot of them and now I only display the more interesting ones.

I once had a bean that was hollowed out, and the hole in the top was fitted with a teeny-tiny plug shaped like an elephant.  INSIDE the bean were 100 or so very-very-teeny-tiny chips of bone, that if you put them under a microscope ....they were shaped like elephants too!!!  

(I think I lost it.)
