LoL... actually I wouldnt want to step on mice either..
Wonder if an elephant has ever seen a white mouse..

Maybe elephants step on mice accidently.. because they didnt see them..
If not threatened pachyderms may be quite gentle creatures..
Meaning not fear of THE mouse... but fear of killing it.. may be the inspiration..

Who can psycho-analyze an elephant?..
Sorry... that would be YOU!!!..
