      I didn't know that this elephant was a professional musician.
      I mean, some of them are good amateur trumpetists, but not professionals.
      Maybe that's why he is so attentive.

    Paul uttered maybe 4 or 5 words to this majestic elephant, but his actions spoke much louder. The beauty of the music started a bond between them and then, by the simple act of chopping some foliage for the elephant, another need was met - and the elephant knew it. Walking off together at the end was so simple but beautiful. A trust was formed out of sheer kindness. Is it any wonder why people get so much joy from a beloved pet as opposed to this very unkind world? I never get tired of seeing videos like these. Paul, you are a treasure!

Adore the way Mongkol rests his trunk on the embankment while you play a Beethoven's piece of beautiful music which Mongkol definitely enjoyed. I'm quite sure he would never walk away while you are playing the piano that he loves so much with the air filled with a beautiful sound. Wow getting the piano to where you will both meet up is quite the exercise in more ways than one but totally understand Mongkol is most worthy of it. Thanks for sharing your lovely video. ❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️

    I grew up playing the piano. My two favorite songs to play were “ Dance of The Rosebuds” and “25 or 6 to 4”. Two songs that couldn’t be further apart. I loved all things “Nutcracker” as I was also a young ballerina. I think they would enjoy “Dance of The Rosebuds” more than the later. That was many years ago. However, I can not help myself if I pass a piano, I have to sit and play. But would love to have played for elephants. It would be a dream come true. Lucky elephants and lucky man.
