to the rope. It was a baby elephant! The elephant ran into Sally's yard, and it began eating grass.
Then the driver drove away. Sally stood there and held the rope to the elephant. She asked herself,"What can I feed an elephant with? Bananas?"
After a while, a policeman came. He said, "It's illegal (非法的) to have wild animals here." Thenthe policeman gave Sally a ticket.
