    Do you have the expression "the elephant in the dining room" there?

    Refers to a given uncomfortable topic everyone knows is the main problem to be solved, but no one wants to bring it up.

    This elephant has turned the phrase literal!

    Smart elephant! For the story, I think it is cute, but not astounding. Cows, dogs, oxen, camels, etc - all routinely block traffic here.
