After the old man sells the elephant, he gives the young man twenty dollars and says, “Now, can you tell me how you found the elephant’s bad ears?” “I didn’t find the bad ears,” says the young man. “Then why are you looking at the elephant slowly?” asked the old man.

In some parts of the world there are large deserts. There are no trees and no water there. Travelers must take food and water with them. The only animal that can walk through the desert is the camel. It can go without food or water for a long time and it can carry heavy things. People call the camel “the ship of the desert”. The camel’s humps(驼峰)hold fat, and its stomach(胃)holds water in twelve deep pockets. Each pocket has a mouth which closes, and the food does not mix(混合) with the water. When the camel wants some water, it can get it out of the pockets. The camel’s food is grass and leaves of trees.
