The elephant was killed by a British sub-divisional officer

The elephant which made a lot of trouble in our town was killed yesterday. Killed by the British sub-divisional officer Eric Blair. Our people were really helpless against the big male elephant which destroyed bamboos huts, killed a cow, raided some fruit-stalls an killed an Indian man.
Eric Blair was called to solve the issue. He came with his rifle, an old 44. Winchester and searched for the animal. The white man with his rifle who came to do something against the ''beast'' was the spectacle of the year for the Burmese population. Soon a big crowd was formed which followed Eric Blair and grew continously. It was clear that Eric Blair didn't feel very confident in his position with all the Natives in the back who would never leave him. The sub-divisional officer often turned around and looked really desperate to the crowd. Undoubtedly he tried to look not frightened and overstrained in front of the Natives. It seemed that he didn't want to kill the elephant but in the end he shot again and again at the big animal which finally died after half an hour of agony. Interestingly Eric Blair was not man enough to stay during the elephant died. This underlines again the poor personality of him and the European people generally.
