Every morning when I'm getting dressed, I will turn on the TV to have the news broadcast in the background. Today, the newscaster picked up an article from the newspaper that sounds very interesting.
In Thailand, there's a saying that goes "ผู้ชายเป็นช้างเท้าหน้า ผู้หญิงเป็นช้างเท้าหลัง" which means men are like an elephant's front legs while women are like an elephant's hind legs. Normally the interpretation would be - men are the leaders and women are followers -, correcto??
WRONG!!!! Apparently, this saying started during erm.... long time ago... and according to the laws at that time, women have more power than men... BUT i'm not gonna get into the laws and rules and stuff. boring.
This is what's interesting. In reality, when an elephant walks, their hind leg moves before their front leg! True story! The person who wrote this article actually consulted with an official from the ... erm... animal reserves(?), and a researcher, and they actually spent days looking at the way elephants walk and observed that the hind legs actually lead the front legs. (i used the word 'actually' alot haven't i??)
So you see, not everything is as it seems!! This just goes to show that no matter how wrongly you interpret something, in the end, the truth always prevails. WOMEN RULES!
