The journey of making the choice. Chris Jones recently completed a very unusual journey. Our reporter Mary Owen met him at his home in the south of London and be told her all about the trip.
Reporter:What gave you the idea to make a trip around India on an elephant, Chris?
Chris:Well, it all started the idea two years ago when I was planning a trip to India. I visited a photo exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only enjoyable way to make a trip around India was on an elephant.
Reporter:What did you do next?
Chris:I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant, I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I didn't know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert (专家) for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.
Reporter:How long did it take to find a suitable elephant?
Chris:Not too long. I bought a female elephant called Tara for about 6,000 dollars.
Reporter:Can you tell me about the journey?
Chris:Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were going to Sonepur in northern India. There is a big elephant market there and I could sell Tara easily. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur is more than 1,200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.
Reporter:Did you have any problems on your journey?
Chris:Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better quickly. Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!
Reporter:What happened when you reached Sonepur?
Chris:My plan was to sell Tara. But I was very fond of her. I couldn't take her back to Britain and I didn't want to sell her at the market. I happened to meet some people who wanted an elephant for their national park in southern India. I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say
goodbye.
