Synopsis

There was once an elephant who was most terrified of spiders. If she even came near a spider, she would shriek and hop in a most unbecoming manner. This became an embarrassing social issue for the elephant as well as a great personal inconvenience. 'This will not do', said the elephant one day. So she took a journey into herself.
