Cao Chong was a clever boy. One day, Sun Quan sent his father Cao Cao an elephant. Cao Cao was very glad, but he wanted to know how heavy the elephant was. Someone said he could bring over a huge scale. Someone said he would cut the elephant into pieces and weighed them. But this didn't make sense because there wasn’t such a huge scale to weigh the living elephant. At this time, Cao Chong had an idea. He put the elephant on the boat and made a mark at the waterline. Then he let the elephant out and put the rocks into the boat until it reached the line.

From this story we know that every single problem can be solved. Even sometimes it looks difficult, we can think out the way to solve it. There must be a solution for each problem, just go for it!
