Het meisje in de olifant (🇬🇧 English below)

Een olifant was ze, krachtig, oersterk. Maar ze was ook grijs, lomp, stug en zwaar. Ze had zich laten opsluiten in de dierentuin van de mensenwereld. Dat had ze zelf gedaan. Zorgvuldig had ze met haar slurf telkens een steen gepakt en deze gestapeld, totdat er een hele dikke, oerdegelijke muur ontstond. Stevig was de…
