My lion is the king of the jungle and it is very strong. My elephant is bigger

and I think it can win today. Lions are fast and strong so they always win.

Elephants are strong, too, and they never give up.

This is my elephant sound and it is very loud.

That does not sound right. It sounds very funny. Yes, it is. I heard it like

this before. No, it is not. You are just guessing

now. What is going on here and why are you so

loud? We are playing zoo and my lion is

winning. My elephant is bigger so it wins this game.

The lion is the king so it always wins. If you like animals so much, I have a

fun idea. What is your idea? Can you tell us now?

Get ready quickly. We are going out today.

Where are we going today? Today, we are going to the city zoo together.

Really? Are we going to a real zoo? This is the best day ever. I am so happy now.

Brush your teeth first, then we will go. I want to see a real lion very close

today. I want to see a big elephant and hear

it. I cannot find my shoes and I am worried now. Look under the bed. They

might be there. I found them here. They were hiding under the bed. That is good.

I want to wear my animal shirt to the zoo today.

I will wear my lion shirt. It looks very cool.

Are the kids ready or are they still playing inside? They are ready now.

I am a lion and I am very scary now. You are not scary. You are just very

funny. I am ready now. Let us go quickly to the zoo.

Wait for me. I am coming right now. Be careful, Noah. Your shoelaces are

untied. Stay still. I will fix your shoe now.

Thank you, Mom. How far is the zoo? I cannot wait any longer.

It is not far. We will be there very soon.

I feel very excited now. I cannot sit still anymore.

Me, too. I want to see all the animals. Look outside. Everything looks so bright

and nice today. Yes, it is a perfect day to visit the

zoo. Are we close now? I feel like we are

almost there. Just a few more minutes. We are getting very close. I will make a

better elephant sound this time. It is still funny, but I like it more

now. We are here now. I can see the zoo gate.

Wait for me. I want to get out, too. There are so many cars and many people

are here today. Yes, it looks busy. So, stay close to

us. The zoo looks very big. I feel very

and two kids. Here are your tickets. Please enjoy your

visit. Here are our tickets. Thank you. Please walk in and have a great time.

Can I get a drink first? I feel a little thirsty. One drink first.

Be careful. It looks very full right now.

I will hold it carefully. I do not want to spill it. Hold it steady. Do not tilt

the cup too much. I am trying, but it keeps moving in my

hand. I can hear animals. Yes, I think we will have a lot of fun

here. The ground is a little wet, so walk

carefully now. My shoes feel strange. I will walk slowly.

The floor is wet. Be careful. My shoes are slippery.

Stay still. I won't let you fall. Thank you, Mom. Look over there. I think

those are monkeys. Let's go quickly. I want to see it.

The monkeys are jumping. They look very funny.

>> [screaming] >> Yes, but do not stand too close to them.

That monkey is looking at me. Maybe it wants something, so be careful

now. Hey. That is my hat. It is holding my hat.

Stay back a little. It is not safe to go closer. I need it back. Just wait, Noah.

It is okay. It is just teasing you. But I like that hat. I wore it today.

Maybe it will drop it later. Just wait a moment. I hope it does. I really want it

back. It dropped my hat. I can go get it now.

Wait first. Make sure it is safe before you go.

I will get it for you. Just stay here and wait.

Thank you, Dad. I will stay here. Here is your hat. It is a little dirty

now. That is okay. I am just happy to have it

back. You should hold your things better next

time. I did not expect the monkey to take it.

I told you not to go too close. I'm sorry. I was just curious.

You should be careful. I know. I won't go too close again. Stop

arguing. We are here to have fun. I'm sorry. I just wanted to remind her.

funny. Maybe it is curious about you right now.

Hello, little bird. What's your name? Some parrots can talk. Maybe this one

can, too. Hello. Did you hear that? It just said hello to

me. Yes, that is so cool. It can really talk.

This parrot talked to me. It said hello. That's wonderful. Parrots can copy our

words. Can you say hello again? Say it again, please.

I like the parrots. They are very friendly.

And they can talk, too, right? I like parrots, too.

The lions look very strong and big. Yes, but we must keep a distance.

It is looking at us. I feel scared. It is just watching. Do not worry.

Stay behind me now. Do not move forward. Okay, I will stay here.

Please stop. You are too close to the lion now. I just want to see it better

for a moment. Ethan, please come back. It is okay. I

will keep a safe distance. Ethan, step back slowly now.

Okay, Mom. I am moving back. That sound is so loud. It scared me. It

is okay. You are safe with me. The lion is calm again now.

Everyone is okay. Next time, please keep a safe distance.

I was very scared, but it is okay now. You did very well staying calm. Let's go

get some popcorn. Yes. I should listen more carefully next

time. Huh.

That is a good lesson for you. Let's take a break and enjoy something

to eat. I feel much better after sitting here.
