I am a five-year-old elephant. When I was a baby, I lived in the wild with my parents. But some
hunters killed my mother, and they caught me. They sold me to this circus(马戏团) and a train carried
me here.
I was born in a large family. My mother was the head of the family. As you might know, when a
female is born into the family, she never leaves.
Closely and happily, we travelled together, ate together, played together, and slept togeth
er. When I was in the family, my mother and my sisters looked after me carefully. I played happily with all the other
elephants. Now, I miss them.
You enjoy watching my wonderful tricks. To make you laugh, I have to perform(表演) eight hours a
day. But you may ask yourself, "How did they make that elephant stand on his head?" I never stood on
his head in the wild. I don't enjoy any of the tricks. I perform tricks because they make me do this or that. And still I hear you want to see me because you love me, you say. But you are thinking about yourself
what you want, what you like. Please think about me. If you love me, give me what I need. I need to be
free, and to be with my family. And you can watch me on videos, DVDs and Web pages.

I am my mother’s third girl. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow(肘). Then he gave her some advice, “Don’t treat her any differently from the other girls.” And she did!
There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the kitchen, “Mum, I can’t peel(削……皮)potatoes. I only have one hand.” “You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
Of course I could peel potatoes—with my good hand and my other arm. “Jenny, if you try hard enough,” she said, “you can do anything.”
Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bar(攀爬架).When it was my turn, I said no, Some kids laughed. I went home crying.
The next afternoon Mum took me back to the school playground. “Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She praised me when I made progress. I’ll never forget when I was crossing the bar, the kids were standing there with their mouths open.
It was the way with everything. Mum had the courage to face anything. And she taught me I could, too.
