Elephants are tall and big, with a body like a wall and legs like four pillars. Officials watched and talked: "How heavy is such a big elephant?"

Cao Cao asked, "Who can weigh this elephant?" Some said, "You have to build a large scale and cut down a big tree to make a scale." Some said, "Even a big scale, who has the strength to lift this big scale?" Others said, "One way is to kill the elephant, cut it into pieces and weigh it." Cao Cao shook his head.

Cao Chong, the son of Cao Cao, is only seven years old. He stood up and said, "I have an idea. Drive the elephant to a big ship and see how much the hull sinks. Just draw a line beside the boat along the water. Then the elephant was driven ashore, and the stone was loaded on the boat until the boat sank to the place where the line was drawn. Then weigh the stones on the boat.

Elephants are as heavy as stones. "Cao Caoxiao nodded. He told people to do as Cao Chong said, and sure enough, he weighed the elephant.
