Grey as a mouse,Big as a house,Nose like a snake,I make the earth shake,As I tramp through the grassTrees crack as I pass.With horns in my mouthI walk in the South,Flapping big ears.Beyond count of yearsI stump round and round,Never lie on the ground,Not even to die.Oliphaunt am I,Biggest of all,Huge, old, and tall.If ever youd met meYou wouldnt forget me.If you never do,You wont think Im trueBut Oliphaunt am I,And I never lie.

Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. To bring him news of his beloved son's death would be most unwise. And don't mention Frodo or the ring. And say nothing of Aragorn either. In fact, it's best if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took.
