FEEDING TIME AT

THE ZOO
 It was time for the zookeeper to feed
the animals. Judging from the noise, the
beasts were hungry. The lions open their
mouths and gave the people in the zoo a
frightful sample of the howl of the king of
beasts.
 The little monkey squeaked as they
tumbled over each other to reach the cage
bars. The monkeys shook the iron bars till
they rattled, and parrots jumped up and
down shrieking excitedly.
