Botswana said it planned to send 20,000 elephants to Germany. “This is not a joke,” the president (总统) of Botswana said.
Botswana is a country in Africa. It has about 130,000 elephants, the most in Africa. These big animals often go to towns to find food and water. They can eat plants in farms, damage (破坏) houses and sometimes even step on people.

Thousands of years ago, people went to public (公共的) bath houses to clean themselves. Today, it may be strange (奇怪) for someone to wash with others outside their home. But most houses did not have bathrooms in the home at that time. People had to go to public bath houses. In fact, they were not just a place to wash, but also to meet with others and have a rest.

Some even included game rooms, gardens and libraries!

They have more. Most of them have computer rooms, dining halls and places for sleeping on warm floors and having fun in front of large TVs. Amazingly, many large public bath houses in Korea are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
