Once upon a time there was 　31　 　nearby a town in India. The elephant went to work with its 　32　 　every day. It had to go alone a 　33　 　street. A tailor (裁缝) lived in this street, and used to sit at the 　　34　 　of his shop. Every day when the elephant came to his shop, it would stop and 　35　 　its trunk (象鼻) towards the tailor. This was because it knew that tailor was a 　36　 　man. He would give it something 　37　 　to eat.

　 One day it 　　38　 　that the tailor had nothing to give his 　　39　 　friend. Perhaps he wanted to make 　40　 　of it , because he was not an unkind man. What did he do? 　41 　

the elephant put on its trunk to the tailor, he picked (刺)the 　　42　 　of the trunk with a needle. The elephant drew back quickly, 　43　 　at him angrily and went 　44　 　down the road.

　 The tailor thought 　45　 　about it during the day, but the elephant did! That evening, before it went home, the elephant 　46　 　its trunk with water from a 　47　 　pond

(池塘)。When the tailor saw it 　48　 　along the road, he laughed at the trick he had

　 49　 　on the beast that morning. But he became very 　50　 　when he received a trunkful of dirty water between his eyes。
