Your task is to read the text and make the title to this text.

Many years ago the London Zoo had a young elephant from Africa. The elephant was very
small. His name was Jumbo. A man looked after him. His name was Scott. The elephant grew
very quickly. Soon he learned to carry people on his back. Children liked to sit on the little
benches which he carried on his back. The people of London knew Jumbo and liked him. One
day a rich American saw Jumbo. He wanted to buy him and take him to America to show Jumbo
in the circus there and to make a lot of money. He paid the London Zoo two thousand dollars
for Jumbo. When the people of London heard about it, they wrote letters and articles to
newspapers and organized meetings of protest. They didn’t want Jumbo to go to America. But
nothing helped. Scott began to prepare to go to America with Jumbo to look after him there.
When the elephant came out the Zoo, he lay down in the street and didn’t want to get up.
When at last he got up, they began to walk to the port of London. Many people stood in the
streets and watched. The people wanted Jumbo to stay in the London Zoo.

But Jumbo and Scott went to America on a ship. In America Jumbo was a circus elephant. He
learned to carry things from one place to another and to dance. The Americans also liked
Jumbo.
