Most of us have been impressed upon a certain thing ever since childhood. It can be a doll, or anything, which we just cannot detach from the mind or even the thing. It should be always with us within reach and sight. Some 40 years back this little simple toy was bought in an exhibition and it still never ceases to fascinate me! For all its attributes - simplicity, colour, effectiveness, zero maintenance and hence no wear and tear, I have liked it so much that it has to be always in my sight in our showcase.

It's a toy elephant that can walk. But it needs a slight slope, no keys, no batteries! Just place it at the highest spot and it sways left and right and cluckles its way down, much the same way the huge pachyderm walks! Its four grey legs are free for movement to enable it to move - simple physics.
