Some boys told him that an elephant had damaged（毀壞） it. The man did not believe them, but they took him to a circus which was near there. The owner of the elephant said, "I am very sorry! My elephant has a big, round, red chair. He thought that your car was his chair, and he sat on it!"

Then he gave the man a letter, in which he said that he was sorry and that he would pay for all the damage.
