Question

David nodded. You're right. Remember what we said one night after they came back from Umfolozi? That to get this herd on side we had to get the matriarch to trust at least one human? Well, that's now happened, she trusts you. OK. Radio Ndonga and tell him to make sure the outer fence is fully powered. We'll let them out into the reserve early tomorrow. We drove back to the boma and the enormity of what we were about to do hit me. If I was wrong and the herd broke out, they would be killed. I started having second thoughts, but while doing the final fence patrol for the night, I noticed the elephants were more relaxed and calmer than I had ever seen them before. It was almost as if they anticipated something special was about to happen. Sensing that made me feel better. At 5 am a game guard radioed me from the energizer shed to say that power was off in the boma. David lifted the gate's hefty horizontal eucalyptus poles off their hinges. I called out to Nana, who was standing at the fence about fifty yards away and deliberately walked in and out of the entrance a couple of times to show it was open. Then David and I went and stood on top of an anthill at a safe distance from the entrance to get a grandstand view. For twenty minutes nothing happened. Eventually Nana ambled over to the gate and tested the space with her trunk for some invisible impediment. Satisfied, she moved forward, herd in tow, and then inexplicably stopped halfway through the exit. For some reason she would go no further. Ten minutes later she was still standing there motionless. I turned to David What's going on? Why doesn't she go out? It must be the water in front of the gate, he said. The trench we dug for the delivery truck is full of rain and she doesn't like it. I think she won't go through because it's too deep for Mandla. Then for the first time, we witnessed a graphic demonstration of Nana's Herculean strength. On either side of the gate stood two eight foot high, eight inch wide eucalyptus poles sunk thirty inches into concrete. Nana inspected these with her trunk, then put her head down and gave a push. The shafts buckled as the concrete foundations popped out of the ground like corks. David and I stared at each other, stunned. My God, I said, we couldn't even have done that with the tractor. And to think that yesterday I was letting her touch me! 1) Briefly describe everything that Nana did after the author and David opened the gate of the boma. In a short and correct complete sentence. MY ANSWER: After the author and David opened the gate of the boma, Nana ambled over to the gate, tested the space with her trunk, and then stopped halfway through the exit, ultimately pushing against the eucalyptus poles and causing them to buckle and the concrete foundations to pop out of the ground like corks.

Answer 1
