I collect elephants and I have heard they are only good luck if the trunk is up in the air. I have a few that the trunk is turned down so maybe thats why I always have bad luck. Who knows, maybe it is true. Maybe I should get rid of the trunk down ones and see if my luck changes.

Here in Amerca it is known of the upturned trunk of the elephant. Being Americans though almost anything can become a good luck charm. I really don't see it much anymore however I do believe it continues. Have always liked the upturned truck of the elephant since I really like elephants anyway.

I know that I have to collect 7 . All of them must see the entrance of the flat. And they will bring richness to the flat.
