Looking down I immediately recognized that something was wrong and ran down to the edge of the near bank.

Then with a huge effort she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death.
