1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to the river . every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river . every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands How many animals are going towards the river ? ?

The following sentence can be written like this. Assuming that the elephants are acctually moving. 
1+(6*1(2+1)) = 1+(6(3)) = 1 + (18) = 19

If the elephants are not moving, and this is some sort of brain twister, the proper answer would be:
1+2(1+1) = 5
Because the monkeys the elephants saw can be the same ones all along.
