　　Chris Jones recently completed a very unusual journey．Our reporter Mary Owen met him at his home in the south of London and be told her all about the trip．

　　Reporter：What gave you the idea to make a trip around India on an elephant, Chris?

　　Chris：Well, it all started the idea two years ago when I was planning a trip to India．I visited a photo exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only enjoyable way to make a trip around India was on an elephant．

　　Reporter：What did you do next?

　　Chris：I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant, I needed an elephant trained to carry people．I didn’t know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert(专家)for help．He taught me how to ride an elephant．He also helped me find an elephant．

　　Reporter：How long did it take to find a suitable elephant?

　　Chris：Not too long．I bought a female elephant called Tara for about 6, 000 dollars．

　　Reporter：Can you tell me about the journey?

　　Chris：Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later．We were going to Sonepur in northern India．There is a big elephant market there and I could sell Tara easily．And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur is more than 1, 200 km away．It took us 64 days to complete the journey．

　　Reporter：Did you have any problems on your journey?

　　Chris：Yes, a few．But nothing serious．On the third day, Tara hurt her foot．Btu that got better quickly．Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!

　　Reporter：What happened when you reached Sonepur?

　　Chris：My plan was to sell Tara．But I was very fond of her．I couldn’t take her back to Britain and I didn’t want to sell her at the market．I happened to meet some people who wanted an elephant for their national park in southern India．I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them．I was very sad to say goodbye．

　　A young man was going to join the army(部队)and had to take a medical examination(检查)．The doctor was sitting at a desk when he went in．He said to the man, "Take your coat and shirt off, and sit on that chair．"

　　The young man did so．The doctor looked at him for a moment without getting up from his chair and then said, " All right．Put your clothes on again．"

　　" But you haven't examined me at all! " the young man said in surprise．

　　"There is no need to do so, " the doctor said with a smile．"When I told you to take your coat and shirt off, you heard me all right, so there is nothing wrong with your ears．You saw your chair, so your eyes are good．You could take your clothes off and sit on the chair, so you must be in good health．And you understood what I told you to do and did it without a mistake, ．．．"
