But i did not want to shoot the elephant. i watched him beating his bunch of grass against his knees, with that preoccupied grandmotherly air that elephants have. it seemed to me that it would be murder to shoot him. at that age i was not squeamish about killing animals, but i had never shot an elephant and never wanted to. (somehow it always seems worse to kill a large animal.) besides, there was the beast's owner to be considered. alive, the elephant was worth at least a hundred pounds. dead, he would only be worth the value of his tusks, five pounds, possibly. but i had got to act quickly. i turned to some experienced-looking burmans who had been there when we arrived, and asked them how the elephant had been behaving. they all said the same thing: he took no notice of you if you left him alone, but he might charge if you went too close to him.
