Elephants in the House

Some new neighbours have moved in on the fourth floor. Fine is very excited. She has been hearing trampling, rustling and squeaking all day. Hopefully the new tenants will have children, Fine thinks. The other residents are already gathering in the stairwell and grumbling: "Elephants? On the fourth floor? What on earth?!" But Fine doesn't listen to the chatter and simply rings the doorbell. Wouldn't it be boring if everyone was the same!
