A two-year-old boy got the fright of his life when a circus elephant named Rambo picked him up in his pushchair at a Danish leisure park.
The family were enjoying a day out when the curious elephant wrapped its trunk around the pushchair.
“I had to fight like a lunatic to free my son,” Henriette Lundager said. The pushchair was lifted 2m in the air.

Lundager and her son Malte suffered bruising in the struggle with the 27-year-old female elephant, but neither of them were seriously hurt. Circus official Isabella Enoch said Rambo was the “nicest elephant in the world,” and has no history of attacking people.
The management of the park has offered the family free circus tickets and around 500 euros (NT$24,100) to replace the badly damaged pushchair.
Enoch said she believed the incident had been exaggerated, adding that Rambo normally liked children. “Rambo just wanted to see if there was anything to eat in the pushchair,” she said.

丹麥一座遊樂園中，一隻名叫藍波的馬戲團大象捲起一台嬰兒推車，嚇壞了坐在裡面的兩歲男童。
這一家人當時正在享受出遊之樂，但這隻好奇的大象竟用長鼻捲起他們的嬰兒車。
韓莉耶特．郎達格說：「我像個瘋子奮力想救回兒子。」當時這隻大象把嬰兒車舉離地面兩公尺。
郎達格和兒子摩特在和這隻二十七歲母象拉扯的過程中，身上多處擦傷，所幸傷勢都不嚴重。馬戲團人員伊莎貝拉．伊諾克說，藍波是「全世界最溫和的大象」，而且從沒有攻擊人類的紀錄。
遊樂園管理部贈送免費馬戲團門票，及將近五百歐元（新台幣兩萬四千一百元）的現金給這家人，賠償嚴重損壞的折疊嬰兒車。
伊諾克說，她覺得這起事件被誇大了，並說藍波平常很喜歡小朋友。她說：「藍波只是想瞧瞧嬰兒車裡有沒有食物。」（法新社�翻譯：袁星塵）

The asphalt was warm against his knees. Around him, dozens of people lay flat in the narrow street outside Jenn Lann Temple in Dajia. Some pressed their hands together in prayer.

You might think knitting is only for grandmas, but surprisingly, many young people are embracing so-called “grandma hobbies.” On social media platforms, activities such as home cooking, embroidery and gardening are becoming popular among teenagers and young adults who are drawn to their relaxing and creative nature. “Grandma hobbies” typically refer to activities that are slow-paced, handmade and nostalgic. Common examples include knitting scarves, baking cookies, sewing clothes and growing plants.

Visitors walking down the streets of London and other major English cities might notice a curious sight. Many of the old __1__ have some of their windows boarded up. What’s even stranger is that there doesn’t appear to be any consistent pattern as to which windows get covered. This architectural __2__ dates back over 300 years during a time when “coin clipping” was a common crime in England. Back then, silver coins had simple designs with __3__, unmarked edges. Without any pattern extending to the coins’ rims, it was difficult to tell if the edges had been __4__. This
