It’s seven o’clock in the morning. Lavin always has her morning shower before school. But she doesn’t take it at home. She takes a shower in a small river outside with her best friend, a baby elephant.

Lavin lives at a zoo with her parents, brothers and sisters. Her father works at the zoo and he is a special keeper for the baby elephants. Lavin is only six years old, but she lives with the elephants and has a very special friendship (友谊) with them.

At eight o’clock in the morning, Lavin goes to school, but she doesn’t go on the school bus. She rides an elephant to school. After school, Lavin plays football with her elephants.

Now it is the evening, and the baby elephants are tired. Lavin sits next to them and sings to them. Sometimes, they all sleep together—friends together in the day and friends together at night.

It’s a Sunday morning. Linda goes shopping in a supermarket. It’s very big. All the things there are very cheap because it’s the first day for the supermarket, and there is a big sale.

There are a lot of people in the supermarket. And it is very crowded. Linda sees a little girl crying. She can’t find her grandma.

“What’s your grandma’s name?” asks Linda.

The little girl doesn’t know. She doesn’t know her grandma’s telephone number either.

Linda takes the little girl to the manager’s(经理的) office. “Don’t worry. Just stay with us and we can help you find your grandma on the radio.” says the manager.

A few minutes later, an old woman comes. The little girl finds her grandma at last.

“Thank you so much!” The grandma says to Linda and the manager.

Linda is very happy because she can do something to help others.
