Beast From The Past (25th September 1981)

Once there was a curator of a museum who one day had a delivery of a new animal. It was a frozen mammoth which had been sent from a foreign country so that lots of people could see this beast from the past.
The curator was very pleased to have it and he put the mammoth away on show in a glass case.

One night, when everybody was asleep, something went wrong with the heating system. It went up and up!! The frozen mammoth dripped and dripped until there was a great big puddle right round him. In the morning, the curator went to the museum as usual before anybody else, to find that the mammoth was alive. It was the most amazing sight.

After a few months, the curator decided to give up being a curator because the mammoth was enough to look after, especially the job of finding food for it.

The mammoth became a great friend of the man, and they both travelled to the coldest countries that they could find and they lived there for nearly all their lives.
