One Day I went to the zoo before the first day of school and went and saw a lot of animals like a jaguar and a cheetah and even a baby gorilla.  I also saw a bunch of seals swimming and there’s a little opening under so we can see under water to see how they look closer or how many there is.  But before I can leave and see another animal the zoo keepers came out with a bucket of fish and make them do tricks.  After that I went and saw a lion and a man lion they were pretty big but when I seen a polar bear they were huge they was the size of a motorcycle and we were really high up so the bears don’t escape.  Next I went to a house of monkeys and saw those monkeys that have different colors on their face and seemed to like the jewelry on my wrist and was really close to me.  Then I saw a giraffe and an ostrich and a baby giraffe they baby giraffe was even taller than me after that I was exhausted and went home.  The End
