Question

From the distance, an elephant was crying as if frightened. I immediately recognized that something was strange and ran down to the bank of the river. There I saw Billie with her four-month-old calf struggling in the fast water and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Billie was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.

The calf suddenly appeared in the water but soon it went down again. Billie turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.

Then, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.

While I was thinking what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother's love. Billie had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring all the time, but to her calf it was music.
