Yuki is a young girl in Japan. One weekend, she goes to the zoo with her family. Yuki is very excited to see all the animals. First, she sees the lions. They are big and strong. She also sees the elephants, with their long trunks. Yuki finds the giraffes interesting because they have long necks. She watches the penguins swimming and playing in the water. Yuki loves the pandas, too. They are black and white and very cute.
After walking around the zoo, Yuki is tired and hungry. She buys an ice cream from the zoo shop and sits down to eat. Yuki has a great day at the zoo with her family. She can't wait to visit the zoo again and see more animals.
| Yuki: | Hey, look at those pandas! They're so cute! |
| Sister: | Yeah, they are! Do you know they eat bamboo all day? |
| Yuki: | Really? That's interesting. I wish I could eat ice cream all day. |
| Sister: | (laughs) Me too, Yuki. Me too. |
| Yuki: | Oh, look at the giraffes! Their long necks are so funny! |
| Sister: | You're right. They must have a great view from up there! |
