M: Elephants are interesting. They are intelligent.
They also have a great memory. You should
always be kind to elephants. They remember
everything. A woman from India told me a story.
When she was a little girl, she knew of an evil
elephant keeper. He often hit his elephant. He was
very mean and cruel to the elephant. Then the evil
keeper sold the elephant. The new keeper was a
very kind man. Many years later, the evil keeper
met the elephant again. The elephant remembered
the evil man. He picked up a stone with his trunk and
threw it at the evil man. The elephant still knew the
man, even after so many years.
Elephants help each other, too. Elephants use
a special sound. The sound is so low that people
cannot hear it. This sound travels really far.
Groups of elephants can communicate with each
other, even if they are far apart. This is very useful
because it helps the elephants to find water and
food. The elephants cooperate to help each other.
