One day Ram was lost on his way home and went into a forest (森林). He walked in the
forest and saw a den (洞穴). He went inside and saw a lion there. He was scared and ran out of
the den. At that time, an elephant came and said, "Don't worry. I will be your friend." Great!
Could you tell me the way out of the forest?" asked Ram. But the elephant did not know the
way. They walked and walked until the elephant was trapped (被捕获) in a cage (笼子) that a
man put for him. To save the elephant, Ram asked all the animals in the forest for help, but
they could do nothing. At last, when the man slept, Ram took the key from his bag and opened
the cage. The elephant thanked Ram very much. He called other elephants and trumpeted (吼叫) with them. Hearing the sound, some people came to the forest and took Ram home.
