Cao Chong Weighed an Elephant
A long time ago, there were no elephants in the State of Wei. One day, the king got an elephant as a gift from the State of Wu. People were very happy to see this big animal.
Everyone was excited about it and had a question—how much did it weigh? But there was a problem: How to weigh it? At that time, no scales (秤) could weigh such a large animal. The king had a young son named Cao Chong. He said, “Father, I know how to weigh it.” Firstly, nobody believed the boy. But after he told them his idea, they all thought it was a good one.
“Here’s what you should do. Follow me,” the boy said to the ministers(大臣). “Let the elephant stand in a big boat on the water. Draw a line on the side of the boat at the water level (水平面). Then let the elephant get off the boat. Collect a lot of big stones. Put the stones in the boat until the boat falls to the same water level. Then take the stones out of the boat and weigh them one by one. In this way, we can know the weight of the stones. Finally, you can know how much the elephant weighs.”
“Wonderful! Wonderful!” shouted the people. Soon everyone in the country knew that the king had a clever son.

Do you know why different animals or pests(昆虫)have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters(猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散开), its enemies(敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

Cao Chong Weighed an Elephant
A long time ago, there were no elephants in the State of Wei. One day, the king got an elephant as a gift from the State of Wu. People were very happy to see this big animal.
Everyone was excited about it and had a question—how much did it weigh? But there was a problem: How to weigh it? At that time, no scales (秤) could weigh such a large animal. The king had a young son named Cao Chong. He said, “Father, I know how to weigh it.” Firstly, nobody believed the boy. But after he told them his idea, they all thought it was a good one.
“Here’s what you should do. Follow me,” the boy said to the ministers(大臣). “Let the elephant stand in a big boat on the water. Draw a line on the side of the boat at the water level (水平面). Then let the elephant get off the boat. Collect a lot of big stones. Put the stones in the boat until the boat falls to the same water level. Then take the stones out of the boat and weigh them one by one. In this way, we can know the weight of the stones. Finally, you can know how much the elephant weighs.”

Do you know why different animals or pests(昆虫)have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters(猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散开), its enemies(敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
