Why is the Elephant so popular?

One of the anecdotes by the ancient Greek writer Aesop concerns a group of animals
who, one day were discussing the popularity of the elephant. They all agreed that the
elephant was the most popular animal in the forest, but none of them could give a
satisfactory explanation of this fact. The giraffe said, "If the elephant ____ (have) a long
neck like mine, then it ___ be easy to understand his popularity. He ______ be the
tallest animal in the forest." The peacock said, "If the elephant _____ a beautiful tail like
mine, it _____ be easy to understand. He _____ be the most beautiful animal in the
forest." The rabbit said, "If the elephant _____ run as fast as I can, it _____ be easy to
understand. He ______ be the fastest animal in the forest." The bear said, "If the
elephant ____ as strong as I am, it would be easy to understand. He would be the
strongest animal in the forest."
Suddenly the elephant himself appeared. He was larger and stronger than any of the
other animals. He was also superior in many other ways, but he was always quiet and
modest about his accomplishments.
This, after all, was the real explanation of his popularity.
