I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest.Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches，beneath which the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadows­within­shadows would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more attractive.Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach，the forest was silent.

　　Gradually，the tension slipped from our bodies.The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth.I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck；there was a soft part，free of wrinkles and hairs，behind her ear.

　　This was my fourth time to_sense_the_aura of the forest in Corbett，although I saw no tigers in the end.Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains，Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers，but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts(出没处)，a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity.Still，I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear.If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger，I could have gone to a zoo.After all，spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty；tracking them can make you aware of something more.

　　A．The elephant stopped.

　　B．A spotted deer called.

　　C．The elephant seized a branch.
