How To Weigh An Elephant

by Bob Barner

A parade of excited animals arrive at an elegant building where an elephant operates the elevator. But they can't all rush into the elevator at once. It carries only the weight of a single elephant! As children watch each group of enthusiastic animals being weighed and find out where they are going in such a hurry they can learn the basic underlying skills of measurement.
