Tamerlane gives the people of Akshehir a male elephant, but they cannot feed it. People beg Nasruddin to go tell Tamerlane to take it back. He agrees, but insists fifteen people come with him. They all depart, but one by one they run away. When Nasruddin arrives all alone, he asks Tamerlane instead to give them a female elephant too as companion to the male.
