The action of the story concerns a rogue elephant that has killed a Burmese man. The narrator finds the elephant standing peacefully in a field. He does not want to kill the elephant, but he knows the large crowd of people who have followed him to the field expect him to do it. He shoots the elephant several times.
The first thing to remember is head lice can not live off the human host for more than 48 hours. Also, lice do not have âfeetâ and can not travel well an smooth hard surfaces. Lice can not jump or fly. Nits/eggs need to be in a warm, dark, moist place to incubate.
The eggs are glued to the hair shaft very close to the scalp. Head lice live only about 30 to 40 days. They die in 1 or 2 days when removed from the head, and eggs die soon after being removed from the warm scalp.Head lice do not wander about rugs, furniture, or school buses seeking a host.ead lice live only about 30 to 40 days.
