Once the psychoanalytically oriented student of personality finishes his description of

the elephant, the second personality student walks around the elephant deliberately to

study the low-hung belly and the thick legs.

"No," he says to the psychoanalyst. "You�re digging too deep. Everything we need to

know about our elephant is right here, right here in this massive belly. Our fat friend"-

the elephant snorts- "is basically relaxed and jolly. She simply loves to eat-"

"Deep," interrupts the psychoanalyst. "Deep."

"-she loves to eat and she gets along with everybody. She�s not athletic or courageous,

she�s not scholarly or artistic. We know all this from these rolls of flab. She loves

everyone."

"You, I don�t like at all," notes the elephant.
