　　Ruby, the artist, is an Asian elephant. She is 17 years old. She lives in the zoo. Ruby has produced about 100 paintings since last year. She has made more than ＄ 40,000 for the zoo. Zoo leaders say Ruby first showed the talent（才能）for art about four years ago. Zoo workers watched her make the marks in the sand with her trunk（象鼻）. She rubbed out the marks, then made the new ones. The zoo workers gave her brushes and paints. Soon Ruby was painting pictures. Newspaper reporters wrote about Ruby, and then people asked for buying her pictures. And in this way she made a lot of money for the zoo by painting.

　　This is how Ruby does the paintings: A zoo worker holds different color paints. Ruby touches the colors she wants. Then the worker gives her the chosen colors to the brushes in her trunk and Ruby begins painting.
