Nothing too terrible happens, at least according to Laura Joffe Numeroff's book, a lesson in cause and effect.
Just don’t try it with elephants.
At dawn Tuesday, monks found Raja, Sri Lanka's most celebrated elephant, writhing in pain with tears in his eyes.
The elephant has fallen ill after eating many homemade cookies deep fried in coconut oil, chocolates, rice cooked in thick milk and fermented slices of sweet pineapple offered to him as part of Buddhist new year celebrations.
Elephants mostly eat vegetation, and their digestive system can not easily cope with rich or processed foods.
The monks, rather belatedly, hung a handwritten notice by Raja's enclosure that reads: Do not feed the elephant.
