Today is Sunday. Mr. Smith drives the car to the zoo with his family. They want to see animals. They get to the zoo at 9:00 in the morning.

    They see smart elephants, cute pandas and many other animals. Mrs. Smith's favorite animals are elephants. They are very friendly and they have long noses (鼻子). The elephants from Thailand can draw very well. They're one of Thailand's symbols. Look at the small panda. He looks unhappy. He can't find his mother. The visitors(游客) can see the animals, but they can't give them food. Too much food isn't good for them.

    Welcome to the zoo and play with them.
