At the zoo, I once offered an elephant a peanut butter cracker. He took it gently, chewed slowly, and gave me a look that said, “You can do better.” A year later, I visited again—and swear to peanuts, he recognized me. Walked straight over and trunk-patted my bag. No snacks this time, and the betrayal in his eyes haunts me. Elephants remember kindness. And apparently, snack debt.
