It is 1907. An 11-year old boy is allowed to drive the family wagon and a team of mules into town for market day. It is his first time making the 14-mile round trip alone. Along the way he falls asleep, only to awaken and find his mules frozen in fear on a bridge and dozens of wagons with angry passengers stacked up behind him. When he looks to the front, he sees an elephant standing there. And so begins the adventure of a lifetime, one that ends in a lifetime decision. Based on a true story.
