Im ready to start my Mahout training. The first day of training we practice riding.
I have new pants.
New shirt.
New atitude.

You see in may hand my new Mahout tools. The elephant hook and the knife. The hook is one the tools that we use to communicate with the elephant. We use voice, touch, and empahty. The hook is an extention of our touch.

The knife is used in the jungle. I will talk more about the knife in another section.






The first day we also learn that it is our job to clean up after the elephants.




Look Ma I am A Mahout(trainee)
