  Wild elephants live in herds of 10 to about 50.The leader is usually female.A herd can go through a forest quietly.It travels in a single line.It goes about six miles an hour.When frightened, it may run at about 25 miles an hour.When they reach water, elephants swim across.They are great swimmers.

  Elephants eat grass, leaves, small branches, and bark.They particularly like the tender leaves on the top of trees.how do they get these leaves? They use their heads to knock trees down.They can easily knock down a 30-foot tree.Elephants also eat berries, mangoes, coconuts, corn, and sugar cane.They love salt.A wild male adult eats from 500 to 600 pounds of food a day.

  Many people want to find the graveyards(墓地)of elephants.There is a strong belief that such graveyards exist.Here is why Bones and tusks of dead elephants are almost never found.Searches have been made in forests.Grassy plains have been searched too.But neither bones nor tusks are found.Elephants don’t live forever.Where are their bones? They don’t just bury themselves.Here is one belief that says an elephant gets sick or old, it instinctively knows death is near.It leaves the herd.It goes off to a secret graveyard.The place is known only to elephants, and perhaps other animals, but not to humans.Obviously, such a graveyard would be filled with ivory tusks.These were once very valuable.The objective of explorers was to find this “gold” mine.This graveyard belief may be a truth or a myth.But it is romantic.It would be nice if it were true.

  On the coast of Cuba lived an old fisherman. He was thin and had many deep lines in the back of his neck. His skin was very brown, and his hands were marked by pulling heavy fish at the end of ropes. But all these marks were old. Every part of him seemed old except his eyes. They were cheerful and the same color as the sea.

  For eighty days he did not catch any fish. People said that the old man was unlucky. But the old man still loved the sea. He was still strong and a good fisherman. On the eighty fifth day the old man sailed farther out to sea than any of the other boats. He sailed to where the water was very deep. Then he felt fishing-line being pulled gently by a big fish which was swimming very deep in the water.
