【答案】例文：

How Cao Chong Weighed the Elephant

Cao Cao was very glad to have received an elephant as a present. He wanted to know how heavy the elephant was, but there was not a scale big enough to weigh the elephant.

One day, Cao Chong said to his father, “I've found a way to weigh the elephant.” Cao Chong asked a man to lead the elephant onto a boat. When the boat stopped sinking, the man drew a line on the boat side. After the men took the elephant off the boat, Cao Chong asked them to put some stones into the boat until the water reached the line. Then Cao Chong asked them to weigh each stone and put down the number.

“Add up all the numbers and we will know the weight of the elephant,” Cao Chong said to his father in pride.
