As he was passing some elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these elephants were being held by a small rope tied to their front legs. No chains (锁链), no cage. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. The trainer said, “When they were very young, we used the same rope to tie them.
