Long long ago, a young man became a great archer(射手)．He asked the king to declare him as the greatest archer of the country．The king was going to do so when an old servant of the king said,“Wait, sir．I know an old man who lives in the forest．He is a much greater archer．Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years．”
The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him, but he went and found the old man and he was!For three years he learned from him．Then one day, when he thought he had learned everything, the thought came to him：“If I kill this old man, then I will be the greatest archer．”
The old man had gone to cut wood and he was coming back carrying wood on his shoulder．The young man hid behind a tree, waiting to kill him．He shot an arrow．The old man took a small piece of wood and threw it．It struck(击中)the arrow and the arrow turned back and hurt the young man very deeply．The old man came, took out the arrow and said,“I knew that some day you were going to do this．That’s why I have not taught you this secret．There is no need to kill me．My teacher is still alive, and I'm nothing before him．You must be with him for at least thirty years．And he is very old, so go fast!Find the old man!”

Last Sunday the elephant keeper at London Zoo, Jim Robson, was killed by one of the elephants he loved．This was terrible, and it could be a big problem for the future(将来)of London Zoo-and maybe for all of Britain's city zoos．
London Zoo said that it would move its three elephants to a wild(野生的)animal park outside London．Its director-general(总经理), Michael Dioxn, said,“We are sorry that the elephants are leaving; there have been elephants at Lon-don Zoo since 1831．”
One British newspaper said that though many small animals were very interesting, most people wanted to see big animals－and most of all elephants．
London Zoo is not only losing its elephants．The tigers will also leave soon and most of the bears(熊)have already gone．Outside the elephant house at London Zoo, a woman called Mary said she hoped the zoo could keep big animals．“This is the only way the young people can see animals without travelling to other countries,”she said．
Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to well keep them．Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos．
Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry．“If we send them back to the wild they will die．If you take away big animals, people will stop visiting London Zoo．It can survive(继续生存)at the moment, but it won't survive in the future．”
However, Mary Rosevear, directory of the Federation(联合会)of Zoos, believes(相信)that city zoos can survive without keeping large animals．
