1 rabbit saw 9 elephants while going to the river. Every elephant saw 3 monkeys going to the river. Each monkey had 1 tortoise in each hand. How many animals are going to the river?

Trick question:

The elephants are not going to the river.
So 1 rabbit goes to the river
3 monkeys go to the river, each holding a tortoise in each hand. 2 hands per money times 3 monkeys = 6 tortoises
So we have 1 rabbit + 3 monkeys + 6 tortoises = 10 animals
