Context: Vince begged the elephant to return the flask , until the zookeeper , rolling her eyes and trying not to laugh at Vince , wandered into the enclosure and extricated the flask from the beast 's mouth . She returned it , dripping in saliva and smelling rather disgusting , to Vince , who later excitedly offered the mangled thing and his far - fetched tale to Howard with barely an apology . Typical of Vince - the flask was perfect before he got his hands on it .

Option 0: Vince should have been more careful to prevent the Elephant from having access .
Option 1: Howard wanted to touch the Elephant himself .
Option 2: Howard was afraid of Elephants .
Option 3: None of the above choices .
Answer: 0
