him to a policeman and said, “I have just found this penguin. What should I
do?” The policeman replied, “take him to the zoo”
The next day the policeman saw the same in the same park, and the man was
still carrying the penguin with him. The policeman was rather surprised and
walked up to the man and asked. “Why are you still carrying that penguin

lion, which did nothing except lie about and sleep. “Lion ought not to be like
that!” Young lion said to himself, so he roared at all the visitors and tried to
break the bars of the cage.
At three o’clock a man brought a big piece of meat and put it in the old lion’s
cage then he put a bag of nuts and two bananas in the young lion’s cage. The
young lion was very surprised. “I don’t understand this,” he said to the old
lion, “I behave like a real lion while you lie there doing nothing, and look what
happens!”
“Well, you see,” said the old lion kindly, “this is a small zoo. They haven’t got
