#2 Difficulties faced by Armand Denis during his search for The Four-Tusked Elephant.

Four-Tusked Elephant's tusks found by Armand Denis

During the search for the four-tusked elephant, Armand Denis had to overcome several difficulties.

After he heard about the four-tusked elephant, no one was willing to help him search the four-tusked elephant. Every time he talked about the existence of the four-tusked elephant, people laughed at him, made fun of his idea.

Though he managed to gather some for people and formed search party and searched for the four-tusked elephant, he had to return empty handed.

He came across lots of hardship. After a year or so, he happened to meet some Finish people and overheard them talking about the four-tusked elephant. It gave him a light of hope and asked them about the four tusked elephant. But things were not on his side.

After after overhearing about the four tusked elephant form the Finish people, he had to meet the "African" guy who was supposed to know about the whereabouts of the Four-Tusked Elephant.
He had to bribe him with things in order to get the elephant skull.

Actually, he was planning to get the elephant skull and see if it fits with the four "golden" tusks. He had to pay more money than usual to the tusks which were not worth of that money.Fitting the tusks with the skull was not a piece of cake.

He had to carry the skull, which was very heavy, in his truck. He had a tough time protecting the skull which was almost swept by the river, and the Hyenas were pain in the back for him.
