Old elephants have no teeth. In the wild after they lose all of their teeth they head to swampy areas where there are softer things to eat, but usually die of malnutrition shortly afterward. Then you wind up with an “elephant graveyard”.
But at the retirement home they make food the old elephants can eat. So they can live on.
You start by chopping lots of pumpkins.
Then you take a lot of rice.
You mix the rice with some water and pumpkin over a fire.
Then you squish in some icky smelly brown vitamins with your hands.
Then you make balls. They must be perfectly round and the same size. Elephants get really picky in their old age.
You coat them in flour so they don’t stick together.
One plate per elephant.
And you stick them right in their mouths so they don’t get too squished. Also with no teeth they can’t accidentally bite you.
