Animals are important in Indian culture and are treaded in a special way. For example, a lot of elephants aren’t   . they are domesticated(驯养). They aren’t kept as pets, but as working animals. Every working elephant     its own keeper. An elephant and its keep meet for the first time when they are both young, and they grow up together. In fact, their relationship continues for the rest of the elephant’s     perhaps 40 years. Lots of elephants work in the forest, moving heavy    when they are cut down. Some give rides to tourists, or       people during celebrations and festivals. Keepers take excellent care of their elephants , feeding them    and giving them a bath at the end of the working day.
 special animal in India is the cow. Cows are protected animals,   they aren’t kept on farms or killed for food, although people do use their milk. So in India you can often see cows walking around towns and cities, and nobody tries   them. If they sit down in the middle of the road, people    drive around them! Do you think it’s interesting?
