An elephant and a crocodile were once standing beside the river. They were disputing which was the better animal.
“Look at my strength,”said the elephant. “I can pull up a tree, roots and everything with my trunk.” “Ah! But your skin is not so thick as mine,”replied the crocodile. “No knife or tooth can cut through it.” Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass. “My dear friends!”said the king of all animals, going up to them. “Let me know the cause of your disagreement.” “Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal ” cried both at once.
“Certainly,” said the lion, pointing across the river. “Do you see the soldier’s metal hat on that wall ”
“Yes!” replied the beasts. “Well, then,”continued the lion, “go and get it, and bring it to me, and then I shall be able to decide between you.”
Upon hearing this, off they started. The crocodile, being used to the water, reached the opposite side of the river first, and was soon standing beside the wall. Here he waited till the elephant came up. The elephant, seeing that the crocodile had no way of reaching their goal, raised his long trunk, and took down the hat quite easily.
They then made their way together back again across the river. The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast-moving crocodile in the water and became careless. When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch, the elephant dropped the hat, and it fell into the river. The crocodile noticed the accident, so down he dived, and brought it up in his huge mouth. They then returned, and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion’s feet. The king took it up, turning to the elephant, and said...

D．Explaining.
2．Why did the elephant drop the metal hat
A．Because he became careless.
B．Because he didn’t like it.
C．Because he kept up with the crocodile.
D．Because he tried to cross the river.
3．What did the king probably say in the end
A．The crocodile got the metal hat, so he was wiser and abler.
B．The elephant helped the crocodile, so he was better.
C．Both of them were wise and able, but one was no better than the other.
D．Both the crocodile and the elephant failed.
4．What can you learn from the story
A．The lion is the king of all animals.
B．Learn from each other and unite as one.
