（10上海）
(a)
the elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. a few dogs started barking at it. the elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.
that didn't stop the elephant. it destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. the villagers were scared and angry. then someone suggested calling parbati, the elephant princess.
parbati barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. he taught parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. he also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.
