[00:11.07]Why did the police have to push Jumbo off the main street? [00:17.78]Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. [00:26.85]Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls, [00:34.00]he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. [00:41.60]He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. [00:47.87]A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. [00:57.78]Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. [01:04.87]Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. [01:11.05]The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. [01:16.72]'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, [01:22.77]'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. [01:27.79]Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.' 去年圣诞节，马戏团老板吉米.盖茨决定送些礼物给儿童医院。他打扮成圣诞老人，在由6个漂亮姑娘组成的“仪仗队”的陪同下，骑上一头名叫江伯的小象，沿着城里的主要街道出发了。他本该知道警察绝不会允许这类事情发生。一个警察走过来告诉吉米，他应该走一条小路，因为江泊阻碍了交通。虽然吉米同意马上就走，但江伯却拒绝移动。15个警察不得不用很大的力气把它推离主要街道。警察虽然吃了苦头，但他们还是感到很有趣。“江伯一定有好几吨重，”一个警察事后这样说，“值得庆幸的是它没让我们抬它走。当然，我们应该逮捕它，但由于它一贯表现很好，这次我们饶了它。”
