The myth came about because elephants used to be kept in tiny stalls that were never cleaned and their feet would rot because they were standing in their own excreta. Mice would find their way in and nibble on the decaying flesh, causing the elephants pain and producing a learned response to future rodent sightings.
The above was discovered in the jabberings of an elephant expert in a popular men's magazine; I leave the assertions of its veracity to others.
