MIAMI -- What does an 11-year-old elephant and Miami-Dade County's state attorney have in common? Try a cup of Cuban coffee and Cuban bread.Kellie Ann, one of the stars of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, stopped in at the popular Little Havana café, Versailles, on Wednesday morning to share a cafecito and some Cuban bread with state attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle."Cuban bread for an elephant that gained 3,000 pounds over the holidays and a little Cuban coffee, but I will tell you, I'm told it was decaf," Fernandez Rundle quipped.What brought Fernandez Rundle to Versailles was the fact that the circus was giving out hundreds of free tickets to underprivileged children and children who have been victims of crimes."We're always looking to give an extra hand -- something to either our youth or victims -- who don't have the same opportunities that maybe the rest of us have," Fernandez Rundle said.
