A Special Delivery
Ben and Sally lived in California with their two daughters. Ben liked travelling. One summer, he went to Africa on a trip, but Sally stayed home with the girls. Ben and his friends owned a company. People at the company liked to play jokes on each other. One day, Ben's friends wanted to play a joke on Ben and Sally. So they sent a letter to Sally. The letter said,

Dear Sally, I'm having a great time here in Africa. I'm sending a special gift to you. I hope you like it. Please take good care of it until I get home. Love to you and the kids, Ben

On the same day, Sally also got a phone call. The caller told her that a delivery was coming. At one o'clock, a truck stopped in front of Sally's house. The truck driver gave Sally a rope. An animal was tiedto the rope. It was a baby elephant! The elephant ran into Sally's yard, and it began eating grass.
Then the driver drove away. Sally stood there and held the rope to the elephant. She asked herself, "What can I feed an elephant with? Bananas?"
After a while, a policeman came. He said, "It's illegal (非法的) to have wild animals here." Then the policeman gave Sally a ticket.
Ben's friends were hiding in the backyard and laughing. They had planned everything perfectly. They had rented (租借) the elephant from a zoo and asked the policeman to write the ticket! Ben's friends also made a film of everything. They wanted Ben to watch the video.
