  A mother elephant takes good care of her baby. But she even punishes(惩罚) the baby when he is bad. Once a baby elephant was walking along the bank of a river and he was very near the edge(边缘). The other elephants were not far away.
  The baby’s mother cried out a loud warning(警告). “Get away from the edge,” she seemed to say. But that baby elephant kept on trying to see just how close he could get. Suddenly he fell into the water. And it was too deep for him.
  The elephants turned around. They rushed to the bank. They streched out (伸出) their trunks(象鼻) to the small elephant. But he was too afraid to reach for them. What did the elephants do? With care’ two of them got down into the water. They put their long teeth under the baby. Slowly they lifted him up. Now the elephants on the bank could reach him. They pulled the baby to safety.
  The mother elephant pulled him to her. She made loving noises. She felt all over him with her trunk. At last she was sure her baby was all right. Then she beat her baby with her trunk. She shouted at him. The mother elephant was punishing her son. She wanted to be sure that he would not be naughty(顽皮) again.
