A Special Delivery

Ben and Sally lived in California with their two daughters. Ben liked travelling.1．, 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.2．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 tied to the rope. It was a baby elephant!3．, 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?”

4．. He said, “It’s illegal (非法的)to have wild animal 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.5．.

When Sally learned about the truth, she couldn’t help laughing.
