卡爾加里動物園內。辛笛兒走過歐亞區、自然保護區、澳洲區、非洲區、加拿大野生動物區,最後朝大型哺乳動物區走去,可見老虎、猩猩、美洲豹等動物。
辛笛兒抬頭,看見傑克出現在側前方,急待離去。
老肥姐和老瘦哥和旅行團的人正走進大象館。辛笛兒上去,隨他們走進大象館。
動物園大象館內。大象棲息處,兩名男飼養員在給幾頭大象餵食。一頭雌大象躺在一邊,它的頭邊放著一個大水盆,一名男飼養員拿著一把大刷子和一根自來水管在為它洗澡。
觀眾廳里,一名講解員(雪麗)在為遊客講解。
雪麗:Welcome to our Elephant Crossing, Calgary Zoo. My name is Sherry. (歡迎來到我們卡爾加里動物園的大象走廊。我叫雪麗。)
老肥姐上前跟雪麗握手:Hi, Sherry. My name is Fat-Jane. (你好,雪麗。我的名字叫肥姐。)
老瘦哥擠上前:My name is Shaw-Gore. (我的名字叫瘦哥。)
雪麗跟老肥姐和老瘦哥握手:Nice to meet you. (見到你們很高興。)(繼續講解:)Look at that elephant in bath. Do you know she is the Canada’s Most Famous Animal (看那頭正在洗澡的大象。你們知道她是“加拿大最著名的動物”嗎?)
老肥姐:I know. She is a singer. (我知道,她是一個歌唱家。)
洗澡的雌大象抬頭喊了一聲。另一頭吃食的雄大象將長鼻子伸進水盆,吸起水朝觀眾廳這邊噴水。
眾遊客紛紛鼓掌拍照。雪麗朝老肥姐笑了笑,繼續講解。
雪麗:Actually, this is the first time that I know Kamala is a singer. Yes, her name is Kamala, which means \"Lotus Flower.\" Before she came to Canada and became famous, Kamala had a sad story. She was born in Sri Lanka\'s Yala National Park in 1975. She became an orphaned about three months after her birth and was found in an abandoned well. Through a cooperative effort with the Sri Lankan government, Kamala, and two other Asian elephants orphaned around same time, were brought to Calgary Zoo in 1976. In 1986 and 1990, she gave birth to her two children Chanda and Maharani …(其實,這是我第一次知道卡瑪拉是一個歌唱家。對了,她的名字叫卡瑪拉,意思是“荷花”。在他來到加拿大成名之前,她有一個悲傷的故事。1975年她出生在斯里蘭卡的亞拉國家公園裡,但是,三個月後就成了孤兒,被人發現掉進了一口廢井裡。1976年,在斯里蘭卡政府的協助下,卡瑪拉和另外兩頭孤兒大象來到了卡爾加里的動物園。此後在1986年和1990年,卡瑪拉生下了兩個孩子:暢達和馬哈拉尼……)
遊客甲:I know why Kamala is famous. (我知道為什麼卡瑪拉出名。)
數名遊客:Why (為什麼?)
遊客甲大聲:Because she gave birth to two bay elephants in Canada! (因為它為加拿大生了兩頭小象!)
老瘦哥:原來是“英雄母親”啊!
老肥姐瞪了老瘦哥一眼:是,是什麼啊?不生孩子就不英雄啦?I don’t think so! (我認為不是這樣!)
