[00:22.70]Last Christmas, the circus owner, [00:25.62]Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. [00:32.32]Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls, [00:39.85]he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. [00:47.39]He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. [00:53.24]A policeman approached Jimmy and told him [00:56.64]he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. [01:03.71]Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. [01:10.01]Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. [01:16.96]The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. [01:23.11]'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, [01:28.78]'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. [01:32.96]Of course, we should arrest him, [01:35.73]but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'
