A pack of young elephants will cause all kinds of trouble.
But if you introduce them to an adult elephant, the adult will whip them into shape pretty quickly, and the young elephants will behave.
They say the same thing is true with young people.
They can get into a lot of trouble on their own.
But if you let an adult elephant loose on them, the elephant will trample them to death.
Sure, they won’t get into any more trouble. You know, being dead and all.
But you’ll be in trouble for letting an elephant trample them to death.
