A/N: For P100 prompt 939 – Woolly Mammoth
“So, where is this mammoth?”
“He is right there, minister.”
“Lester?”
“Yes, minister?”
“I thought it would be hairier.”
“You did, sir?”
“Your report did say it was a mammoth?”
“Yes, sir. A Columbian mammoth.”
“Does it have something wrong with it?”
“Ms Maitland assures me that M… the mammoth is perfectly healthy.”
“But where is the hair?”
“Hair? Ah, it isn’t a woolly mammoth, sir. M… the mammoth is a different species.”
“That is disappointing, Lester. It looks like a normal elephant. No one would believe it was a mammoth.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“No, Lester. It isn’t.”

Thanks for reading.
