For Ms or Not Paul
Some months afterwards they fell off again ; the
inspectors were astonished , as they daily saw them
fed , examined the mofsaulla , found its ingredients
excellent and the quantity not diminished. The
cause , once more discovered , confirms Abul Fazels
account and evinces the influence the keepers
had attained over these extraordinary animals :
they taught them to receive the balls with
their trunk and convey them to their mouth in
the inspectors presence, but to abstain from eating
them ; these docile creatures actually practised
that self-denial ; they received the food they were so
fond of from their hands , put it into their mouth
with their trunk but never chewed it ; the balls
remained untouched until the inspectors withdrew
when they took them out and presented them to
the keepers with their trunk ; accepting only of such
a share as they thought proper to allow them. —
