A mysterious visitor

Something was not right. The day had started like any other, but at some point in the day Asher's elephant noticed that Asher's sister had disappeared and someone else, a mysterious visitor, had seemed to take her place. Asher's elephant was not sure who it was. The visitor spoke with a strange accent and had a very interesting hairstyle. It was normal for a person to wear glasses, but the ones the visitor wore did not have any lenses in them. While Asher's elephant knew it was not polite to stare, he just could not help looking at the stranger's nose and then looking at the stranger's face; they just did not seem to go together. In one way the stranger seemed familiar to Asher's elephant, but he just could not figure out what it was. Finally he asked Asher who the stranger was. Asher said, "you don't know Billy Bob Joe? Let me introduce you." "Billy Bob Joe," Asher said with a sort of chuckle, "this is my elephant." "Pleased to me you sir," said Billy Bob Joe. Then Billy Bob Joe and Asher laughed and laughed. Asher's elephant was a little puzzled; what was so funny he thought to himself. "Don't worry," said Billy Bob Joe next, "it's just me." With a quick tug at the glasses Asher's sister took off her disguise and Asher's elephant soon saw it had only been a mask. The "mystery" was solved.
