They carry big trees, take people from place to place, and are even used in wars.Some people think its not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, thats wrong. Sometimes, a needle（针）can also be very dangerous for the elephant.People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight, so they usually cant see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory, people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal.People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard ”. Often, hunters try to find such places to get ivories（象牙）, but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves（洞穴）until they get better or die.11 .

What did you write?”The man said, “I only wrote the truthI said what you said, but in a different way”What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can t see it”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blindBut the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hatThe second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beautiful day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blindThe first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sig told people they were so lucky that they were not blindThere are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple storyThe first is：Treasure （珍惜） what you haveSomeone else has lessTry your best to help those who need your helpThe second is：Be creativeThink differentlyThere is always a better way15 .
