    My father often takes me to the zoo, because I like animals very much. It is winter. The days are getting cold. Many animals stay in their houses. The elephants are big. They like to eat vegetables and bananas. The bears are by the elephants. They are brown. They like to sleep in winter. I go to say hello to them, but I can't wake them up. There are many monkeys in the Monkey Mountain. They feel cold, and they hide in the holes. A mother monkey takes a baby monkey in her arms and makes it warm. The pandas are lovely. They stay in the warm house and eat nice food. Many other animals in the zoo are happy in winter.
