I am a five-year-old elephant. When I was a baby, I lived in the wild with my parents. But some hunters killed my mother, and they caught me. They sold me to this circus(马戏团) and a train carried me here.

I was born in a large family. My mother was the head of the family. As you might know, when a female is born into the family, she never leaves.

Closely and happily, we travelled together, ate together, played together, and slept together. When I was in the family, my mother and my sisters looked after me carefully. I played happily with all the other elephants. Now, I miss them.

You enjoy watching my wonderful tricks. To make you laugh, I have to perform(表演) eight hours a day. But you may ask yourself, “How did they make that elephant stand on his head?” I never stood on his head in the wild. I don’t enjoy any of the tricks. I perform tricks because they make me do this or that. And still I hear you want to see me because you love me, you say. But you are thinking about yourself—what you want, what you like. Please think about me. If you love me, give me what I need. I need to be free, and to be with my family. And you can watch me on videos, DVDs and Web pages.

One Sunday, Mike decided to go sailing in his boat with his friend Jack. But Jack happened to be away. Jack’s brother, John, wanted to go with him, but he didn’t know anything about sailing. Mike agreed and they started to go out to sea.
