Elephants are like us in some ways. They 2 for a long time—fifty or sixty years. They can 3 things very well. They never forget great sadness or happiness. A female elephant 4 , her daughters and her granddaughters are sad for many months. They stay with the dead 5 . Then they carry a bit of it away with them. They never forget a 6 friend.

Well, the young males stay with their mothers for a time. Then they must 12 the family. The females just send them away. A bull elephant does not often have a friend ,He lives 13 ,away from the family, and away from other bulls.
Sometimes the females call a bull. He can 14 _them then, and they stay for a time. But soon his “wives” and “sisters” send him away again. The females have a very 15
family life. What do the bulls think about it? We don’t know.
