  Reporter:What did you do next?

  Chris:I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant, I needed an elephant trained to carry people.I didn’t know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert(專家)for help.He taught me how to ride an elephant.He also helped me find an elephant.

  Reporter:How long did it take to find a suitable elephant?

  Chris:Not too long.I bought a female elephant called Tara for about 6, 000 dollars.

  Reporter:Can you tell me about the journey?

  Chris:Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later.We were going to Sonepur in northern India.There is a big elephant market there and I could sell Tara easily.And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur is more than 1, 200 km away.It took us 64 days to complete the journey.

  Reporter:Did you have any problems on your journey?

  Chris:Yes, a few.But nothing serious.On the third day, Tara hurt her foot.Btu that got better quickly.Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!

  Reporter:What happened when you reached Sonepur?

  Chris:My plan was to sell Tara.But I was very fond of her.I couldn’t take her back to Britain and I didn’t want to sell her at the market.I happened to meet some people who wanted an elephant for their national park in southern India.I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them.I was very sad to say goodbye.
