Jeremy looked across the hot grassy land in an old truck. South Africa was a long way from his hometown in America. Jeremy hardly ever spent time with his father,a famous wildlife photographer(摄影师). Jeremy thought his father's job seemed hard and boring.

As the truck moved along the rough road,the door fell off!And their guide Makalu threw the door into the back of the truck.

They stopped near a watering hole. Makalu said he was the friend with the elephants here. Before long,Jeremy saw a small group of elephants walk toward the water. Dad jumped out of the truck and focused his camera on the largest elephant.

Jeremy noticed a baby elephant walking between two adults. The larger elephants walked into the water happily. They drew water into their trunks(象鼻) and shot it into the air. Then the baby elephant dropped into the water and the water was too deep for it.

The baby elephant was in trouble. It tried to climb out of the water, but the bank was too steep(陡峭的). Other elephants tried pulling the baby up, but they failed again and again. The mother elephant shouted.

Jeremy took the broken door from the back of the truck. Makalu saw what Jeremy was planning and ran to help. Together they pulled the door down to the water. Makalu comforted the mother elephant.

The mother knew Makalu and trusted him. Jeremy moved the door onto the bank. Its mother pushed from behind. The baby stepped onto the door and began to walk. Three more steps and it was safe. The other elephants gathered around the baby, touching it with their trunks.

"Boy, Jeremy," Dad said, "This is the most exciting photo I've ever taken! I'm glad you come along."
