-When Marge forces the rest of the family to clean the house, while cleaning his room, Bart is listening to the radio and hears the announcers say that if the next person they call answers "[[KBBL]] is going to give me something stupid," that person will win a prize. Bart, hoping that he will be the next person called, answers the phone every time it rings saying, "KBBL is going to give me something stupid." The KBBL eventually does call and Bart says the right thing and the announcers give him the choice of either winning an elephant or winning $10,000. Bart chooses the elephant over the money, not knowing that the elephant was not really a prize. Over the next few days Bart continues to demand the elephant and eventually gets it, mostly because the station announcers were going to be replaced by a mechanical DJ. Bart names the elephant Stampy, who freaks out Santa's Little Helper and Snowball II and has the habit of putting Bart in his mouth.

 The family has mixed feelings about Stampy, with [[Marge]] and [[Homer]] not thrilled with the situation, but Lisa is more along the same side with Bart, at least when Homer is mistreating him, and Bart loves him. The family does realize eventually that it costs too much to have Stampy around and start looking at the options available to them. One is donating Stampy to a nature preserve, which Homer immediately dismisses because he will not receive any money out of it. Eventually Homer decides to give Stampy to [[Mr. Blackheart]], a man who is obviously an ivory dealer (decked out head to toe in ivory an even giving Homer an ivory cheque), when he offers a substantial amount.
