and precious scientific specimen. Firstly, only a minority of mammoths have
ever been found. Secondly, it is most perfectly preserved woolly mammoth
ever discovered. Moreover, the man who found her did not sell or do
anything with her and kept her remnants. Thirdly, the scientists were able
to carefully recover her by avoiding damages. Furthermore, there are also
some things that scientists hop to discover by studying her. One of them is

Interviewer: What did you see and feel during your journeys through the
city that night?
Grandfather: I saw a lot of different things and felt the amazing night
atmosphere during the journey throughout the city. I assumed the hustle
and bustle along the tramway, the hustle and activity along the tramway, I
believed, it would break the silence of our walk as there were no people no
sound not even sirens. I observed every window was dark and the hazy
moon seemed to trap the silence in a net around it. I also saw empty
window of shops that had gone out of business and lightless buildings.
Interviewer: What do you remember of your granddaughter’s behavior and
reactions that night?
Grandfather: I remember quite a few things about my granddaughter’s
behavior and reaction that night. My granddaughter was following all the
instructions that I told her to follow but she was speaking loudly and I had
to tell her to lower her voice. She was lagging behind me as she had woken
from sleep so I had to stop at the end of the street. Furthermore, Natalia
was surprised after seeing the elephant, she held my hands and watched it.
Interviewer: What were your reasons for taking your granddaughter out
that night and what do you think she gained from the experience?
Grandfather: I found some reasons for taking my granddaughter out that
night and I think she also gained somethings from her experience. As I
didn’t say her earlier where I am taking her so it was an adventurous
journey for her. Moreover, it will also work as an experience that she will be
remembering.
