If your talking about the giver than it's probably the same reason why people today don't believe in unicorns because nobodys seen one and they seem kind of ridiculous
Because in that utopian society they have made animals obsolete. No one but Jonas and the Giver have seen an elephant.
In The Giver, the children are named Jonas and Lily. Jonas is the protagonist of the story, while Lily is his younger sister.
In the book "The Giver," Lilly's nickname is "Lily."
Lily
Lily was skeptical because the story about elephants seemed too fantastical and out of the ordinary compared to the limited understanding and knowledge she had been given in her controlled community. The community lacked access to diverse experiences, so any mention of something unfamiliar would naturally generate doubt or skepticism. Jonas's story challenged Lily's beliefs and perceptions of the world.
Lily
In "The Giver," Jonah thinks Lily is best suited to become a Birthmother based on her personality and attributes.
In the book "The Giver," Lily's mother suggested that Lily would make a good birthmother because of her nurturing and caring personality. However, this suggestion was ultimately rejected as a possible career for Lily.
