question: 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 .
Q: Why would the elephant have a flash ?

answer: The elephant is an animal who likely did not realize they were playing a prank .

question: This was the least awful day at sea . I did n't have to go lie down because I was sick even once . In the afternoon , the magician from earlier did an escape - artist act in the pool on deck . That was kind of neat , although the sides of the pool blocked the view so we could n't see the actual escaping part . The evening entertainment was a couple of contortionist / acrobats who have performed with Cirque du Soleil before , Ilya and Valerie . That was an unexpected kind of show .
Q: What may happen after this situation ?

answer: They will try to enjoy their cruise .

question: ! I 'd love to go visit the botanical garden to take some flower pictures and shoot the building ( the building in both of the gardens , the uni 's and the winter garden are absolutely gorgeous ) but I doubt I 'll have the time this weekend . Hmpf . This is my biggest worry .
Q: What is most likely the authors biggest worry ?

answer:
That they are too busy to visit the garden and will not get to do their photography .
