An elephant was damaging the town. Would I please come and do something about it?I did not know what I could do, b
18、ut I got onto a horse and started out. I took my gun, maybe too small to kill an elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local people stopped me on the way and told me about the elephants doings.It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but las
19、t night it had broken its chain and escaped. Its owner, had set out to run after it, but had taken the wrong direction. He was now twelve hours journey away, and in the morning the elephant had suddenly appeared in the town. It had already destroyed somebodys bamboo hut (棚屋), killed a cow and turned
20、 over fruitstalls.I came round the hut and saw a mans dead body sprawling in the mud. He was an Indian, and he could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk, put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and h
21、e was lying on his stomach in the soft mud, the peacebreaker standing beside, looking innocent.As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired. That was a shot that did for him.You could see the pain of it knock the last strength from his legs. But in falling he seemed for a moment to ri

I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.Many
25、 weightconscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved， being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the longawaited goal. We work very hard t
26、o realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, selfworth, and,
27、 of course, love.It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if its happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain.
