A trunk, rather
than a red nose, is what Rudolph would need to join a herd of elephants helping
Santa Claus deliver presents in Thailand.
魯道夫需要象鼻而非紅鼻子，才能加入在泰國幫忙耶誕老人送禮物的象群。
Mahouts dressed
as Santa led the gentle giants to a school in central Thailand to hand out
Christmas presents to about 2,000 students this week, part of an annual
tradition.
