The more the elephant struggled the further into the creek he fell.  With stubborn determination, the donkey refused to give up until finally they both were exhausted and out of breath laying on the bank.      Later that year when my daughter and I were discussing politics I told her the Democratics would win the election.  Out of curiosity she wanted to know my reasoning.  After I explained my dream, she understood.
