If search mechanisms had more categories with sub categories, it would be much easier to find something. For example, 20,000 sites emerge regardless of which words or phrases in any combination that I use while searching for the exact account of the incident when Rudyard Kipling saved the life of an elephant that was condemned to death, because it had become violent and unmanageable. I still haven't found the story. Mention Rudyard Kipling and elephant and thousands of sites appear minus the one I need.

Under Biography, the sub-heading life incidents or anecdotes would help, or interesting accounts.

Can anyone direct me to that story. The elephant wouldn't let anyone near. Rudyard Kipling heard about it and was in the city somewhere outside of India where the elephant was caged. He went to the location, opened the cage door, and commenced speaking in Hindi to the elephant, which immediately calmed down, and gave no more trouble. He was homesick.

Cordially,
Ross

Try http://sentra.ischool.utexas.edu/~lcr/archive/bookplates/33_3_Kipling.htm

It has a story about him riding an Elephant, not sure if this was what you were looking for.

BTW, this category was specifically for THIS website suggestions, not for others.

The reason why this website doesn't hold the story of the Elephant is because I have never heard of that before.
