Though countless schemes have been proposed for sealing the deadly stuff deep within the earth, few people seem willing to live on or near such a "hot" burial ground.

The animals banish the elephant, accusing it of drinking more than its share of water, not realizing that it needs the water for its great tasks and size. But when the watering hole runs dry, the animals realize their mistake and take the elephant--who has found a new watering hole--back...
