Mr Williams was a gardener and a very good one too.Last year he came to work for Mrs Elphinstone, who was old, fat and rich.
She knew nothing about gardens, but thought that she knew a lot,and was always interfering. One day Mr Williams got angry with Mrs Elphinstone and called her an elephant. She did not like that at all, so she went to a lawyer, and a few months later Mr Williams was in court, accused of calling Mrs Williams guilty, so Mr Williams said to him,’’Does that mean that I am not allowed to call this lady an elephant any more?’’
‘’That is quite correct,’’ the magistrate answered.
‘’And am I allowed to call an elephant a lady?’’ the gardener asked.
‘’Yes , certainly,’’ the magistrate answered.
Mr Williams looked at Mrs Elphinstone and said, ‘’Goodbye, lady.’’
