Entitled Mammoth in Preah Khan

Mammoth

Entitled Mammoth is old. Being old in this country means whatever you say must be true. So when he claimed to be an elephant, everybody agreed; and when he claimed to be a dinosaur, nobody disagreed. But how can one be an elephant and a dinosaur at the same time? It’s logically impossible!

So I travel to his homeland to challenge him. Entitled Mammoth lives in a far-away country, on top of a high mountain, inside a luxury palace, the gate of which is guarded by seven baby mammoths. 

They inquire my intention. I show them my sword: “Will he dare to say my sword is a snail hoe?”

We fight. The baby mammoths are well armed, and they outnumber me. But I have my secret weapon, which is a large box of raisins. I throw the raisins into the sky, and they all chase after the raisins and lose the will to fight.  So I enter the palace unharmed and find the Entitled Mammoth on his deathbed.

“Tell me!” I shout, “Are you an elephant or a dinosaur?”

The Entitled Mammoth only laughs. 

In anger, I thrust my sword into his hide, only to find his body is made of slime.

“I’m a fish, you silly!” said the mammoth.

I am indeed silly.

Is this a fish in Mammoth's clothing?
