Don't remember which culture or where it came from, but the general gist of the story goes like this. A baby elephant is held in place with a rope or a chain, it has tugged on it many times, and confirmed it can't break free, or is beaten when it strains for too long. When the elephant grows up, it is obviously, a giant fucking elephant, but because of what it knew from long ago, it believes it cannot break the chain around its leg.
