The Indian Elephant is the largest and the heaviest of all terrestrial mammals. It is found in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Tripura, West Bengal, Bihar, Kerala and similar states. Elephants move in herds forming a single file. A herd ranging from five to eleven elephants or at times even up to seventeen forms a family. They are usually three and a half metres high at the shoulder. They feed generally on all species of bamboo and several species of grasses. The animal cannot tolerate high temperature and its average life span is around seventy years. Its population is rapidly declining because it is hunted out for tusk which has commercial value. Their habitat loss is attributed to the increasing human population and its need for fuel wood and timber, which has had a severe impact on the wild elephant population. The demand for elephant ivory for making tourist items is higher than ever before, which is a major reason for their decline in population.

Directions: Read the passage given below carefully and answer the following question.

Once upon a time there was a king who lived in a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some remote areas of his country. When he returned to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he had gone for such a long trip, and the roads that he went through were very coarse and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows’ skin, and would cost a huge amount of money. Then one of his wise servants dared himself to tell the king, “Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?” The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion and made a shoe for himself. So, to make the world a better place to live, one should change oneself, not the world.
