The elephant and the turtle

An elephant was drinking at a watering hole when a turtle approached.

The elephant looked at the turtle for a minute and then gave it a swift kick. The turtle flew through the air and landed several hundred feet away.

A zebra standing close by asked, "Why did you kick that turtle?"

"Well," the elephant replied, "That turtle bit my foot 20 years ago. That was payback."

"How do you know it was the same turtle?"

The elephant looked at the zebra a minute and said,

"I have turtle recall."
