20160526：Jumbo versus the police 小象对警察
Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a
children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of
honour' of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant
called Jumbo. He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A
policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as
Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to
move.Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police
had a difficult time, but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a
policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course,we
should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'
