Cao Chong Weighs The Elephant
曹冲称象
Cao Chong’s father is an emperor. The foreigners give him an elephant. He wants to know the weight of the elephant, but nobody can do it.
Cao Chong says, "I have an idea.Push the elephant into the boat, draw a mark on the side of the boat." After it, lead the elephant ashore.
Next, Cao Chong lets people take stones into the boat.
When the mark levels the water,weigh the stones. That’s the weight of the elephant.

2.思考讨论：
小朋友，曹冲为什么能称出大象的重量呢？如果你遇到了难题，你会怎么做？想一想，说一说吧。
