Hi, if you could make a recording for this short story for children, I would be grateful, and my little students would be happy to hear native voice. :) Thank you in advance. Regards, Anikó
A day at the zoo
You are going to the zoo with your family. It's a very warm and sunny day. You are very happy because there are lizards, monkeys, giraffes, elephants and sea lions and you love all of them! First, you are going to the monkeys' house.
You turn to your Mum and say: „Look, Mum those monkeys are running so fast! And they can climb trees!”
Your Mum says: „Yes, they are nice, but their house smells awful! Let's go!”
Next, you are going to see some African animals. The giraffe's place looks like the desert. There is sand everywhere and tall trees. And the giraffes are so tall, too! There are some lizards next to the giraffes.
„Wow, Mum, look, those lizards look so funny! They are grey and they look like stone. They have so tiny legs.”
Your Dad says: „Yes, they can run very fast and hide easily.”
You are going to see the elephants now. Your Daddy says: „Here you can see the African elephants. Did you know elephants can't jump? They are too big!”
Your Mum says: „That's cool! Now let's see some animals that live in the ice and snow. They are interesting, too. I think there are some sea lions over there.”
Now you can see the sea lions but you don't really like them and you say to your Mum:
„Oh, no, their place looks terrible! I think they don't like cleaning their rooms!”
Now you feel very tired.
Your Mum asks you: „Are you hungry?”
„Oh, yes, Mum” - you answer - „I'm very hungry! I am so hungry I can eat four cups of ice cream”
Your Daddy says „I'm hungry, too. Ok, then, let's go have some ice cream.” Now you are eating ice cream. It looks like a lion! Rrrrr. This is a beautiful day!
